Question

during sarahs recovery period, what energy process supports both her ongoing cellular needs and the creation of new muscle cells?
select one of four
cell division occurs automatically without requiring any additional energy input from cellular processes
only photosynthesis provides the energy needed for human cell division and tissue repair
cellular respiration supplies atp for both normal cellular functions and energy - intensive cell division
active transport alone provides all the energy needed for tissue repair and new cell growth
remaining attempts: 1

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: Cell division needs energy (e.g., ATP), so it doesn't occur without energy input. Eliminate this.
2. Analyze the second option: Photosynthesis occurs in plants, not humans. Humans can't do photosynthesis. Eliminate this.
3. Analyze the third option: Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to make ATP. ATP is used for normal cell functions and cell division (like making new muscle cells). This matches.
4. Analyze the fourth option: Active transport is for moving substances, not providing energy for tissue repair/cell growth. It uses ATP, not produces it for these processes. Eliminate this.

Answer:

The correct option is the one with the statement: "Cellular respiration supplies ATP for both normal cellular functions and energy - intensive cell division" (the third option among the four presented).
