Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best describes the difference between digestion and cellular respiration?
A
Digestion breaks down food to release energy, so cellular respiration can produce additional energy for the body.
B
Digestion allows for water absorption, and cellular respiration occurs to process the liquids released by digestion to provide energy for the body.
C
Animals eat food molecules and digest them, and then the sugarsfrom the food are broken down during respiration to provide energy forthe body.
D
Animals eat foods and digest as many nutrients as they can, beforecellular respiration breaks down the waste materials to provide energyfor the body.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells also need glucose for cellular respiration. Glucose is a simple sugar that comes from the food we eat. To get glucose from food, digestion must occur. This process is carried out by the digestive system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Digestion is the process of mechanically and enzymatically breaking down food into substances for absorption into the bloodstream. The food contains three macronutrients that require digestion before they can be absorbed: fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
