The key here is how does one obtain its energy to perform its everyday processes. A producer converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy via photosynthesis into glucose and glucose is the basic unit utilized for the ultimate energy output. Now, a consumer that "consumes" a primary producer such as grass (envision a cow here), needs to convert the chemical energy of the plant/grass that it just consumed into some thing that it can utilize to perform its day to day functions. When a consumer consumes it is digesting sugars such as glucose, which the primary producer itself produces from the sun. Now cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 -> 6H20 + 6H20 + Energy. Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction were a large molecule such as glucose is broken down and releases energy. In this reaction the release of energy from the breakdown of the large molecule of glucose that was acquired into the body by consuming grass is now provided available energy that the consumer can now use to perform its everyday functions
The lungs perform the following cellular respiratory processes - pulminory ventilation external respiration internal respiration
Anaerobic respiration does not involve oxygen.
Yes, both plants and animals consume oxygen when they perform aerobic cellular respiration.
An individual unable to absorb oxygen into the body is called dead, and is unable to perform cellular respiration.
Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration
They perform cellular respiration but not photosynthesis.
Yes, they perform cellular respiration but they do not photosynthesize
Yes, plants perform cellular respiration in order to produce ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. In cellular respiration, energy is released when large molecules are broken down.
Cellular respiration is one of the processes that cells perform. Organisms do not perform this process. Instead they perform respiration. Cells use cellular respiration to obtain one of the three sources needed for them to live- oxygen. Without this process, cells would not be able to perform other functions.

Anaerobic respiration does not involve oxygen.
This statement implies that plants do not undergo cellular respiration. Plants do, however, undergo cellular respiration because their cells have mitochondria. It is the only process for plants to break down the food they make and release the energy.
Algae, fungi, and protozoans are some unicelluar organisms that do cellular respiration
Yes, both plants and animals consume oxygen when they perform aerobic cellular respiration.
