This question is incomplete but the completed question is below.
Which phrase best describes cellular respiration, a process
that occurs continuously in the cells of organisms?
A) removal of oxygen from the cells of an organism
B) transport of materials within cells and throughout the
bodies of multicellular organisms
C) changing of stored chemical energy in food molecules
to a form usable by organisms
D) conversion of light energy into the chemical bond
energy of organic molecules
The correct option is C
Explanation:
During cellular respiration, there is a catabolic breakdown of glucose through the process of glycolysis in order to produce ATP (energy). These breakdown is required for the cells to generate energy needed to carry out cellular functions. This glucose is gotten from various food substances either directly (from carbohydrates) or indirectly (through gluconeogenesis from proteins and lipid).
Basically, these glucose in food substances are converted into usable energy via cellular respiration.
