Question
**Question 38**

**Prompt:**

Plant cells carry out photosynthesis to produce all of their ATP whereas animal cells carry out cellular respiration to produce all of their ATP.

- [ ] True
- [ ] False

**Explanation:**

This question focuses on the fundamental differences in ATP production between plant and animal cells. Plant cells are capable of performing photosynthesis, a process which converts light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose. This glucose can then be broken down during cellular respiration to produce ATP. However, it is not accurate to say that all ATP in plant cells is produced solely by photosynthesis; cellular respiration also plays a key role.

Animal cells, on the other hand, rely exclusively on cellular respiration to produce ATP by breaking down glucose obtained from their diet.

Therefore, the answer to this question would be **False**, as both plant and animal cells use cellular respiration for ATP production, and plants do not rely entirely on photosynthesis for their ATP.
