Where do animals get the oxygen and glucose they need for cellular respiration?
A
Plants
B
Mitochondria
C
Sun
D
other animals
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Most of the carbon dioxide in animals is released into the air when the animal breathes.

Detailed explanation-2: -All the other living cells in an animal need energy, too. 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: -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.
