Question

which energy-releasing process that occurs in both animals and plants uses oxygen and glucose as reactants and releases carbon dioxide, water, and heat as byproducts? combustion respiration homeostasis

Explanation:

• Combustion is a non - biological process (like burning fuel) and not a process that occurs in the cells of animals and plants as described.
• Respiration (specifically aerobic respiration) is a biological process that occurs in both animal and plant cells. It uses oxygen and glucose as reactants and produces carbon dioxide, water, and releases energy (in the form of heat and ATP).
• Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a stable internal environment in an organism and is not an energy - releasing process involving the given reactants and by - products.
