Answer # 1

The organisms that can use photosynthesis to produce glucose are called photoautotrophs. Photoautotrophs use sunlight to make their own food through photosynthesis. Because of this, autotrophs are considered the producers of the food chain. Eukaryotic plants, algae, and some prokaryotes are all examples of photoautotrophs. The types of organisms that exclusively use aerobic cellular respiration to break down glucose to produce ATP for energy are Eukaryotic cells. Aerobic cellular respiration takes place in the organelle called mitochondria and all eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria. Most living things contain these cells. The cells in our ...
