Question

what is the main purpose of cellular respiration? to make sugars to absorb sunlight to release energy to produce oxygen

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process that breaks down glucose and other organic molecules in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (adenosine - triphosphate), which is the energy - currency of the cell. It is not for making sugars (that's photosynthesis), absorbing sunlight (also related to photosynthesis), or producing oxygen (a by - product of photosynthesis).

Answer:
