Does cellular respiration occur in plants or animals?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals.

The general equation for this is;

glucose + oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + Water

When oxygen is not available anaerobic respiration takes place, which is different for both plants and animals.

Answer 2

In both. In plants they use photosynthesis during the day and at night they use cellular respiration because there is no sun to produce the energy needed with photosynthesis. In animals they only use cellular respiration.

Answer 3

No, it occurs in all the organisms (plants and animals) to use chemical energy. In plants, the products made by photosynthesis are used in cellular respiration whenever there is not enough sunlight.

Answer 4

No. Cellular respiration occurs in many types of cells, both plant and animal. Cellular respiration is the process by which a cell breaks down organic compounds into energy that is usable by the cell.

If you are thinking of photosynthesis, the process by which many plants convert light energy into usable energy, this also does not only happen in plant cells. Cyanobacteria (commonly known as blue green algae) is one example of a non-plant cell that is capable of performing photosynthesis.

Answer 5

No, it occurs in any organisms that have the capabilities, i.e. those with mitochondria in them.

Answer 6

Respiration takes place in all living organisms such as plants, and in humans and other animals.

Answer 7

yes

No, each living cell either from plant or animal respire to get energy for performing its life activities.

Answer 8

no, in plants too

Answer 9

It occurs in animal cells.
