Question

which statement best explains how the green sea slug is able to produce it own food? (1 point) the slug is able to convert the oxygen needed for cellular respiration into glucose in the chloroplasts the slug is able to store the algae within its body and use the glucose produced by the algae for cellular respiration the slug is able to use the chloroplasts to make glucose molecules that it then uses for cellular respiration the slug is able to perform cellular respiration to provide the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis

Explanation:

Green sea slugs incorporate chloroplasts from algae they consume. These chloroplasts can perform photosynthesis to make glucose which the slug uses for cellular - respiration. Option 3 correctly describes this process. Option 1 is incorrect as oxygen is not converted to glucose in chloroplasts. Option 2 is about using algae - produced glucose but not about the slug's own food - production mechanism. Option 4 is incorrect as cellular respiration does not provide carbon dioxide for photosynthesis in the context of the slug's food - production.

Answer:

The slug is able to use the chloroplasts to make glucose molecules that it then uses for cellular respiration.
