Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

cellular respiration is the process of taking organic molecules like C6H12O6 and breaking them down for energy, ATP. Regardless of whether cellular respiration occurs in plants or animals it is the same process, just plants get their C6H12O6 from photosynthesis while animals get it from food
