Cellular Energy — Test

Question 2 • Biology

Which organism would be the best subject for a study of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Answer
A
a chemosynthetic bacterium
B
an animal that eats plants
C
a green plant
D
an animal that eats animals

Explanation

A green plant performs photosynthesis, using light energy to make sugars, and it also performs cellular respiration to release energy from those sugars. Chemosynthetic bacteria do not photosynthesize, and animals do not photosynthesize, so a green plant is the best subject for studying both processes.
