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.


Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?

Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.


How is cellular resperation related to photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis uses light water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose. The glucose produced is then used, with oxygen, in cellular respiration to produce ATP. Chemical Equations Photosynthesis 6CO2+6H2O ------> C6H12O6+6O2 Cellular Respiration C6H12O6+6O2 ------> 6CO2+6H2O+38 ATP NOTE *Plants use photosynthesis and cellular respiration. *Animals just use the glucose they obtain from food to perform cellular respiration. *This is the formula for aerobic cellular respiration not anaerobic which doesn't use oxygen and produces lactic acid in humans.


Do Plants perform cellular respiration?

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.


Is it true that plants do not undergo cellular respiration?

No, this is not true, all organisms undergo cellular respiration. Only the green (chlorophyll containing) cells of a plant can perform photosynthesis to build sugars using the energy from sunlight, these cells and other cells in the plant (that can't perform photosynthesis) break down those sugars through respiration to get the energy they need (in the form of ATP) to perform other cellular functions. All photosynthesis is, is a way to capture the energy of the sun, once that energy is captured, the plant releases and uses that energy the same way as any other organism. Cellular Respiration.

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs in terms of whether the cells perform photosynthesis and or cellular respiration?

Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration


What is the process by which energy is produced in animals?

Cellular Respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria.


Does the Eastern Newt use photosynthesis or cellular respiration?

All salamanders and newts, including the eastern newts, use cellular respiration. In fact, all organisms have cellular respiration. Respiration is how living organisms acquire energy from breaking down sugars. Photosynthesis is a process where plants create sugars from carbon dioxide in the air and water. No animals can perform photosynthesis.


Is oxygen consumed when plants or animals perform aerobic cellular respiration?

Yes, both plants and animals consume oxygen when they perform aerobic cellular respiration.


Can a plant suffocate?

Plants perform photosynthesis then use oxygen for cellular respiration.

What is the molecule made by photosynthesis that is used by other organisms to perform cellular respiration?

Glucose


Do plants that photosynthesize perform cellular respiration?

Yes totally. Photosynthesis occurs only in light conditions while cellular respiration is a 24 hour process.


Do Plants perform cellular respiration?

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.
