Answer:

<u>D. Eating and breaking apart food releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.</u>

Explanation:

In the chloroplasts of plants, photosynthesis occurs. Here in the form of stable carbohydrates, solar energy is transformed into chemical energy.

The fundamental compounds and macromolecules available are nutrients for a variety of metabolic processes. In heterotrophic nutrition, animals get energy by consuming organic matter such as lipids, fats and proteins.

For all metabolic processes, animals use carbohydrates as food. This occurs in the mitochondria...

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light
