Answer 1

Answer:

Source

Explanation:

Respiration, which occurs in all living organism, is the metabolic process by which organisms obtain energy (ATP) via the breakdown of their food substances.

The process of respiration in plant and animal cells is similar in the sense that reactants and products for respiration are exactly the same for both cells. The reaction is as follows:

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O

The difference between this process in plant and animal cells is the SOURCE of the glucose or food molecule that is broken down. Plants get their food from PHOTOSYNTHESIS (autotroph) while animals get theirs by feeding on other organisms (heterotroph).
