Best Answer

After a plant has completed photosynthesis, it has sugars and carbohydrates. Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down these sugars (glucose) and carbohydrates into chemical energy for the plant. Basically, photosynthesis is the process of getting the food, and cellular respiration is the actual eating of the food.

Cellular Respiration releases the energy stored in the bonds of the food (glucose). This energy, ATP, is then used to sustain the plant/animal.

What is misleading about the following statement Plants perform photosynthesis and animals perform cellular respiration?

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.

Can all animal cells undergo cellular respiration?

yes, animals, by definition, consume food (carbs, lipids, proteins) so that they can break it down. carbs (specifically glucose) undergo oxidation to put its bond energy into ATP (adenosine tri phosphate).
