Animals, some algae, and phytoplankton, but not plants
|
|
|
Only animals, since they are the only organisms that go through the process of cellular respiration

|
|
Humans only

|
|
All organisms that break down glucose for food; including plants and animals

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen is required for cellular respiration and is used to break down nutrients, like sugar, to generate ATP (energy) and carbon dioxide and water (waste). Organisms from all kingdoms of life, including bacteria, archaea, plants, protists, animals, and fungi, can use cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Eukaryotic organisms perform cellular respiration in their mitochondria – organelles that are designed to break down sugars and produce ATP very efficiently. Mitochondria are often called “the powerhouse of the cell” because they are able to produce so much ATP!
Detailed explanation-4: -It involves the processes by which energy (at the cellular level) is provided to the bodies of living things. Cellular respiration involves catabolic reaction in order to break down food into usable energy so that cells, and the living organisms that contain them, can survive and thrive.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things, both autotrophs and heterotrophs . All of them burn glucose to form ATP . The reactions of cellular respiration can be grouped into three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (also called the citric acid cycle), and electron transport.
