The process of cellular respirationA) is performed only by organisms that are incapable of photosynthesis. B) breaks down food molecules to...

The correct response is B. All living things must carry
out cellular respiration to release the chemical energy stored in the bonds in food
molecules. One such important molecule is glucose. As glucose is broken down during
anerobic respiration, as in yeast cells, 2 A.T.P. are yielded to provide the energy for
its life processes. In aerobic organisms, such as plants and animals, 36 A.T.P. are the
net result. It is the A.T.P. which supplies our cells with the energy for metabolic
processes.
