FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The energy contained in these sugars is harvested through a process called cellular respiration, which happens in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -A series of metabolic pathways, collectively called cellular respiration, extracts the energy from the bonds in glucose and converts it into a form that all living things can use-both producers, such as plants, and consumers, such as animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists. It is often called aerobic respiration because the process requires oxygen (the root aer comes from the Greek word for “air”).

Detailed explanation-4: -Remember that one of the inputs to cellular respiration is carbohydrate, specifically glucose. Plants form glucose by photosynthesis and animals get glucose by breaking down the food they eat. During cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen to release energy and to form carbon dioxide and water.
