What types of organisms use cellular respiration to produce energy?
A
Only plants
B
Only animals
C
Both plants and animals
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in nearly all living organisms. Plants, animals, fungi, protists, and even many bacteria carry out cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organisms that undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are plant cells and some bacteria and algae.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organisms from all kingdoms of life, including bacteria, archaea, plants, protists, animals, and fungi, can use cellular respiration.
