Question

which statement is true for both plants and animals?
plants and animals both use sunlight to generate atp for energy.
plants and animals both form adp in the calvin cycle.
plants and animals both need to consume sugar to store energy.
plants and animals both break a phosphate bond of atp to release energy.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: Animals do not use sunlight to generate ATP (they get energy from food, plants use photosynthesis with sunlight). So this is false.
• Analyze Option 2: The Calvin cycle is part of photosynthesis in plants; animals do not have a Calvin cycle. So this is false.
• Analyze Option 3: Plants can produce sugar (via photosynthesis) and store energy, they don't "consume" sugar in the same way animals (which consume sugar from external sources) do. So this is false.
• Analyze Option 4: Both plants and animals use ATP as an energy currency. When energy is needed, they break the phosphate bond of ATP (ATP → ADP + Pi + energy) to release energy for cellular processes. This is true for both.

Answer:

Plants and animals both break a phosphate bond of ATP to release energy.
