Question
only animals can do cellular respiration false true
Cellular respiration is a fundamental metabolic process that occurs in the cells of most living organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and many microorganisms. It is not exclusive to animals. Through cellular respiration, organisms convert nutrients (such as glucose) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell, in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) or in its absence (anaerobic respiration). Plants, for example, perform cellular respiration in addition to photosynthesis. While photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen during the day, plants use cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for their cellular activities, which happens both day and night. Fungi and bacteria also rely on cellular respiration to meet their energy needs. Therefore, the statement "Only animals can do cellular respiration" is incorrect.
