Question

1) State whether plants perform cellular respiration and explain why or why not.

2)Explain which cell would likely contain more mitochondria, a muscle cell or a skin cell. Use your knowledge of energy; mitochondria and their function to support your answer.





​

Answer 1

1) plants use photosynthesis to produce glucose, but the use cellular respiration to release energy from glucose so yes they do perform cellular respiration

2) a muscle cell because mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration (releasing energy from glucose) and they need more energy for muscle contraction
