Question

A student states that photosynthesis is conducted only in plant cells and that cellular respiration occurs only in animal cells. Tell whether the student is correct and why. In your response, be sure to describe both processes and the structures involved. Upload your answer below.

Answer 1

This is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct because for photosynthesis you need organelles such as chloroplasts, chloroplasts absorb light energy and convert it into usable energy for plants. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts/similar organelles so they can't absorb energy from the sun, Animal cells use mitochondria which takes energy from our food and breaks it down into usable energy(such as ATP) to be transported.
