Biology 2013 JAMB Past Questions - Question 20: The process of transforming the chemical energy of cellular fuels into high energy bonds of ATP in plants is

Correct Answer

C

Explanation

Cellular respiration is the breaking down or converting chemical energy in the food such as glucose (cellular fuels) in the presence of oxygen, to energy stored in form of ATP which the plants can use to carry outactivities. Autotrophism is a process whereby green plants (autotrophs) and some algae capture and use light energy to synthesize carbohydrate. Proteolysis is one of the stages in light reaction in which water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. Oxygen molecules diffuse out of the leaves while hydrogen molecules enter the dark reaction where they reduce carbon IV oxide to carbohydrate
