A
Cellular respiration requires sunlight to produce energy.
B
Cellular respiration occurs only in animal cells.
C
Cellular respiration takes place in the chloroplasts of the cell.
D
Cellular respiration converts glucose into ATP, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of cellular respiration: It is a process that converts glucose into ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
Identify the byproducts of cellular respiration: During this process, carbon dioxide and water are released as byproducts.
Recognize where cellular respiration occurs: It primarily takes place in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells, not in the chloroplasts.
Clarify the role of sunlight: Cellular respiration does not require sunlight; it is a separate process from photosynthesis, which does require sunlight.
Conclude with the correct statement: Cellular respiration converts glucose into ATP, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts, which is the accurate description of the process.
