Detailed explanation-1: -Both animal cells and plant cells need energy to function. They obtain this energy through cellular respiration, which involves breaking down glucose (a type of sugar) to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell’s energy currency.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is a sugar used by all types of living organisms. In animal cells, glucose can be used to produce proteins, lipids, carbohydrates (glycogen), and as a source of energy. Similarly, plants can use glucose as a source of energy and to make complex carbohydrates, like starch and cellulose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement about cells and sugar is true? Both animal cells and plant cells use sugar. How does food provide energy? Food contains sugar which is converted into energy through respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cells store sugar molecules as glycogen in animals and starch in plants; both plants and animals also use fats extensively as a food store.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
