Question

1. Which of the following is a TRUE statement about cellular respiration?

A. Cellular respiration converts the energy directly from the sun into energy stored in chemical
bonds.
B. Cellular respiration cannot occur without sunlight.
C. Cellular respiration occurs in plant cells and in animal cells.
D. Cellular respiration converts carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and glucose.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration refers to the set of biochemical reactions involved in harnessing the energy from the nutrients in the food and convert it into more usable form that is, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

ATP is then used for all the vital processes of the cell such as replication of DNA, transcription, repair etc.

It takes place in all the cells of both plants and animals. In both, most of the reactions associated with cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria.
