aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

is a yellow dwarf star

formed 2.6 billion years ago

is composed of hydrogen and helium

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system


Solution
