Question
trophisms photoautotrophs in detail weve seen that photoautotrophs such as plants use photosynthesis to make their own food. from what youve learned so far about living things, do you think plants gather energy in any other way? which one of the following is the most accurate description of plants? their cellular respiration is called photosynthesis they all use photosynthesis, but not cellular respiration none of them use cellular respiration to get energy out of sugar they all make their own food (sugars) that they then use for a variety of things, including cellular respiration
Plants are photoautotrophs. They use photosynthesis to produce sugars (their own food). These sugars are then used in cellular respiration (a process common to most living organisms) to release energy for various cellular activities.
- The first option is incorrect because photosynthesis is for making food (sugars), and cellular respiration (a different process) is for releasing energy from sugars.
- The second option is wrong as plants do carry out cellular respiration.
- The third option is incorrect since plants do use cellular respiration to get energy from sugar.
