Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function. If living things could not get the energy they need out of food, it would be absolutely worthless. All living things would eventually die, no matter the quality and amount of food.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water)

The main function of cellular respiration is to turn food into usable chemical energy called ATP. Your body can use ATP as a source of energy to function.

In foods such as carbohydrates, there is stored chemical energy that the body can't use right away. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level.

sveta [45]
Let's do this by process of elimination: A cannot be the answer because glucose is broken down, not built up or synthesized. B is ruled out for the same reason. D is incorrect because transpiration results in water loss, not energy gain. The only correct answer choice is C respiration, specifically by the process of substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis in order to break down glucose into two pyruvate molecules and two net ATP

Which of the following blood vessels uses elasticity to push blood further along the bloodstream?
PolarNik [594]
The answer is Arteries 

Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to capillaries. On the contrary, veins carry blood without oxygen from the capillaries to the heart. 
Arteries are very flexible and yet strong blood vessels so that efficient transport of oxygen-rich blood along the bloodstream through the organism is enabled.
