which process is performed by both plants and animals to break down sugars to provide energy in the form of atp? cellular respiration decomposition photosynthesis consumption

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis is done by plants (using sunlight to make sugars), not animals.
• Consumption is about eating, not breaking down sugars for energy.
• Decomposition is done by decomposers (like fungi/bacteria), not plants/animals for their own energy.
• Cellular respiration occurs in both plant and animal cells, where sugars are broken down to produce ATP (energy).

Answer:

cellular respiration
