Question

did you get it?
why do people, animals and other organisms do cell respiration?
a. to make food (glucose) for themselves! as a byproduct they make oxygen that we need!
b. to make atp (cell energy)! carbon dioxide and water are also produced as byproducts!
c. to make oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose for themselves!
d. to make carbon dioxide and water that animals can use!

topics covered: photosynthesis, respiration, the connection between the two, oxygen and carbon cycles, reactants, products, net equations for each process etc.

Explanation:

• Option A describes photosynthesis (making glucose and oxygen), not cell respiration.
• Option B: Cell respiration breaks down glucose to produce ATP (energy) for cells, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This matches the purpose of cell respiration.
• Option C: Organisms don’t do respiration to make oxygen or glucose (glucose is used as fuel, not made in respiration for most heterotrophs) or carbon dioxide for themselves.
• Option D: Respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, but organisms don’t do it to make these for animals to use; the main goal is energy (ATP).

Answer:

B. To make ATP (cell Energy)! Carbon dioxide and water are also produced as byproducts!
