Why do organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration?(1 point)

Question

Responses

to photosynthesize

to break down ATP

to perform glycolysis

to grow and reproduce

Answer 1

Organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration in order to break down ATP and generate the energy needed for various processes such as growth, reproduction, and overall functioning of the organism. Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms, particularly plants, generate their own energy from sunlight, but cellular respiration is necessary to release and utilize this energy stored in ATP molecules. Glycolysis is a part of cellular respiration that helps generate ATP from glucose, but the overall process of cellular respiration allows organisms to efficiently obtain energy from the food they consume.
