Question
cellular respiration
how common is cellular respiration?
weve established that all living things need energy and we humans use cellular respiration to obtain energy from our food, but what about other forms of life?
do you think they also perform cellular respiration?
which kinds of organisms do you think get energy through cellular respiration? select all that apply:
animal
fungi
plant
bacteria
Cellular respiration is a fundamental process in living organisms. Animals, fungi, plants, and many bacteria (both aerobic and facultative anaerobic ones) perform cellular respiration. Animals like tigers use it to break down nutrients from food. Fungi, which are heterotrophs, also rely on cellular respiration to obtain energy from organic matter they decompose or absorb. Plants, although they can perform photosynthesis to make glucose, use cellular respiration to convert that glucose (and other organic molecules) into ATP for various cellular activities. Bacteria, a diverse group, with many species (aerobic bacteria for example) using cellular respiration pathways (like glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain - in a simpler form in bacteria compared to eukaryotes) to generate energy.
