Question

Which of the following processes take place in animal cells?

A. Photosynthesis only
B. Neither photosynthesis nor cellular respiration
C. Cellular respiration only
D. Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Answer 1

C because animal cells do not use photosynthesis

Answer 2

Only plant cells do photosynthesis but though animal cells don't, they need something equivalent to it.

Cellular respiration is a process that takes place in both animal and plant cells that turns the nutrients (glucose amongst other things) they obtain into ATP (chemical energy), which is also the purpose of photosynthesis (to produce glucose, which can later be converted to ATP).

Answer:

`\boxed{\bf~C.~Cellular~respiration~only.}`
