Question

why do you think the leaf sheep does not need to eat as often as other sea slugs? * 1 point
leaf sheep has extra mitochondria that will produce enough energy with fewer cells.
leaf sheep can perform photosynthesis to produce glucose while other sea slugs has to obtain them from food.
leaf sheep has less mitochondria that does not require as much as food to produce the same amount of energy.
leaf sheep can perform cellular respiration to produce glucose while other sea slugs has to obtain them from food.

Explanation:

Leaf - sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae) is a unique sea slug that can perform photosynthesis. It steals chloroplasts from algae it eats and uses them to produce glucose and energy through photosynthesis, reducing its need to feed as often as other sea slugs. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose, not produce it. Mitochondria quantity is not the key factor here.

Answer:

Leaf sheep can perform photosynthesis to produce glucose while other sea slugs has to obtain them from food.
