Question

true or false: animals (like us) can do photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process exclusive to plants (and some bacteria and algae) that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Animals, including humans, lack the chloroplasts (organelles) needed for photosynthesis. However, animals do perform cellular respiration, which is the process of breaking down glucose (obtained from food) to release energy. Since animals cannot do photosynthesis, the statement "Animals (like us) can do photosynthesis AND cellular respiration" is false.

Answer:

False
