Question

Do plants such as ferns need to break down glucose to obtain usable energy

A.No, they absorb the sun's energy directly.

B.No, they absorb energy from the soil.

C.Yes, they make glucose and break it down to produce ATP.

D.No, they make glucose, but they don't break it down.

Answer 1

C.Yes, they make glucose and break it down to produce ATP.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C.Yes, they make glucose and break it down to produce ATP.

Obtaining and utilizing energy is the absolute necessity for each organism on this earth to survive and ferns are no exception. Like any other living being they also perform respiration. They obtain oxygen from the atmosphere and then utilize it to break down glucose so as to produce ATPs. These ATPs are then used by them for their growth, development and support their day to day activities.
