5students were having a conversation about how plants and animals use the sugars (glucose) made from photosynthesis. which of the following student do you agree with?
maya: plants and animals use the sugar in cellular respiration. they take glucose and oxygen and then create carbon dioxide, water and atp as outputs. the bonds of atp store the energy and are released as a phosphate gets released.

marty: plants and animals use the glucose in two ways. one, they use it as an ingredient in cellular respiration to make atp which supplies the organisms with energy. two, they use the glucose and break it down and then rebuild it as amino acids, lipids and other biomolecules to build essential components of the organism, giving the organism its mass.

samuel: plants and animals both need the sugar to go through photosynthesis. the sugars store energy as chemical energy and then they are used in the chloroplast to make light energy and atp chemical energy

kale: plants use carbon dioxide and turn it into the sugars. the carbon is then found in the glucose where during respiration it is used to build biomolecules that give us our mass.
