RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy animals need for their life functions is released when their cells carry out which of the following functions?
A
Absorbing water from the environment
B
Breaking down glucose
C
Moving molecules across membranes
D
Eliminating waste products
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms. In the cell, the food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells all rely on the same process to get their energy: cellular respiration, a process that releases energy by combining glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP hydrolysis provides the energy needed for many essential processes in organisms and cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-5: -All living cells need energy to function in order for the chemical reactions occurring in the cells to take place. In humans this energy is obtained by breaking down organic molecules such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
