Question

what do cells do during cellular respiration? comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration photosynthesis cellular respiration - occurs in the chloroplast - occurs mostly in mitochondria - uses sunlight to convert h₂o and co₂ - uses o₂ and glucose to produce h₂o, into high - energy sugars and o₂ co₂ and atp - uses water and light - uses oxygen and glucose - splits water and releases o₂ - produces carbon dioxide, water and energy (má atp) - produces o₂ and glucose 20 - release atp for use - absorb light to produce glucose - convert kinetic energy into chemical energy - breakdown foodmolecules to release energy in the form of atp

Explanation:

To determine what cells do during cellular respiration, we analyze the provided comparison chart:

• Photosynthesis (not cellular respiration) absorbs light to produce glucose (eliminating the blue option).
• Cellular respiration uses oxygen and glucose, produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy (in the form of ATP). The green option states "breakdown food molecules (glucose) to release energy in the form of ATP", which matches. The red option says "release ATP for use" – while ATP is released, the core action is breaking down food (glucose) to make ATP, not just releasing it. The orange option is incorrect as cellular respiration does not convert kinetic to chemical energy (photosynthesis/respiration involve chemical energy transformations related to glucose/ATP, not kinetic).

Answer:

■ breakdown foodmolecules to release energy in the form of ATP
