Question
the energy in an organism required to transport materials and eliminate wastes is obtained directly from:
aerobic cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
from the digestive system
from the respiratory system
waste product exhaled
waste product exhaled
usefull atp
the reactants for cellular respiration come from eating (glucose) and breathing (oxygen).

starch
dna
hormones
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is known as the energy currency of the cell. In the process of aerobic cellular respiration shown, glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. Starch is a storage form of glucose in plants (and in some animals as glycogen), DNA is the genetic material, and hormones are signaling molecules. None of these (starch, DNA, hormones) directly provide the energy for cellular work like transporting materials and eliminating wastes. ATP, on the other hand, releases energy when its high - energy phosphate bonds are broken (ATP → ADP + Pi), and this energy is used for various cellular processes.
