Organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration primarily to grow and reproduce. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. This energy is essential for various cellular processes, including growth, development, repair, and reproduction. While the other options mentioned (photosynthesis, breaking down ATP, and performing glycolysis) are important processes, they are not the primary reason organisms perform cellular respiration.
