Question

7 cellular respiration provides a cell with energy that is used for cellular processes. a atp molecules. b glucose molecules c carbon dioxide molecules d oxygen molecules 8 pick the right options in the dropdown below. an organism has mitochondria, but no chloroplasts. this organism is a(n) a and can perform b a producer consumer b photosynthesis only cellular respiration only both photsynthesis and cellular respiration

Explanation:

• Question 7: Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose (in the presence of oxygen) to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the energy - currency of the cell. Glucose is the starting material for cellular respiration (in aerobic respiration), carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration, and oxygen is the final electron acceptor in aerobic cellular respiration.
• Question 8: Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs. Producers (like plants) have chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis. Consumers (like animals) do not have chloroplasts. All eukaryotic organisms (both producers and consumers) have mitochondria. Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. Since the organism has mitochondria (can do cellular respiration) and no chloroplasts (cannot do photosynthesis), it is a consumer and can perform cellular respiration only.

Answer:

• Question 7: A. ATP molecules
• Question 8: a. Consumer; b. cellular respiration only
