Answer:
Cells produce energy by breaking down sugar and other molecules in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP. So the answer is "B".
Explanation:
The process of producing ATP in animal cells occurs through cellular respiration. Various processes occur in this which involve the presence or absence of oxygen. Glycolysis in the presence of oxygen leads to the production of two molecules of ATP. Glucose is broken down into pyruvate and water.
In citric acid cycle, acetyl coA is utilized to produce <u>2ATP, 6NADH and 2FADH molecules.</u>
Finally oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria. With the help of electron transport chain, ATP is synthesized by ATP synthase enzyme.
Cellular respiration would produce less energy when plant were to lose much of its chlorophyll.
Plants can actually live longer without photosynthesis than they can without respiration. Some plants survive half the year without performing photosynthesis, but if they stop performing cellular respiration, even for a minute, they would be dead where they stand.
During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Through a series of steps, much like cellular respiration, they convert these reactants into the products oxygen and glucose. The plants then can use the oxygen and glucose to make ATP in cellular respiration. The rate of respiration is greater than the rate of photosynthesis. So this means there is an overall excess of carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.
