Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organisms perform CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
A
Only Autotrophs
B
Only Heterotrophs
C
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a process that all living things use to convert glucose into energy. Autotrophs (like plants) produce glucose during photosynthesis. Heterotrophs (like humans) ingest other living things to obtain glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things. It takes place in the cells of both autotrophs and heterotrophs. All of them burn glucose to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pitcher plant has both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because animals are heterotrophs, they need to eat food to obtain the glucose required for cellular respiration. Animal cells typically use aerobic cellular respiration, but they can use anaerobic respiration if needed.

Detailed explanation-5: -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”).
