Question

  1. which of the following organisms performs cellular respiration?

a) plants only
b) animals only
c) fungi only
d) plants, animals, and fungi

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cellular respiration is a fundamental metabolic process that occurs in the cells of most living organisms. It is used to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Plants, animals, and fungi are all eukaryotic organisms. Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria, which are the sites of aerobic cellular respiration. While plants also perform photosynthesis, they still carry out cellular respiration. Animals and fungi rely solely on cellular respiration to meet their energy needs. So all three - plants, animals, and fungi perform cellular respiration.

Answer:

D. Plants, animals, and fungi
