Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other food - molecules in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. The first option describes photosynthesis. The third option is about water - absorption in plants which is not related to cellular respiration. The fourth option is incorrect as animals do not convert sunlight into food, and mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration not for converting sunlight into food.

Answer:

Cells break down glucose and other food molecules with oxygen to release energy.
