Cellular respiration is the process that converts nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a storage molecule that provides energy for the cell. Which statement is true about cellular respiration?
Plants perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Explanation:
Cellular respiration is the conversion of glucose into ATP and energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2 along with water and oxygen and carbon dioxide as by-products.
Cellular respiration is a process that occurs both in autotrophs and heterotrophs.
Only the final stage of cellular respiration i.e. oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport chain requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
Heterotrophic cells don't take in carbondioxide, they utilize glucose obtained through food.
