Answer:
The correct answer is A. It eats plants and converts the sugar in plants into ATP by cellular respiration.
Explanation:
Herbivores are animals that can not make their own food and depends on others to get food so they are heterotrophs. Herbivores are specialized to eat plants and gain energy from it.
The process they use to release energy from the ingested plant material is called cellular respiration. In this process, they absorb the carbohydrate(sugar) reserve present in the plant material and oxidize it to produce ATP in the cell. This ATP provides energy to the plant to perform metabolic activities. So the correct answer is A.
Animal that is physically and anatomically adapted to eat plants and plant sources are called herbivores. They only consume the plant part like leaves, fruits, vegetables and bulbs etc.
The correct answer is:
Option A. It eats plants and converts the sugar in plants into ATP by cellular respiration.
This can be explained as:
- Herbivores cannot synthesize their food and feed on the plant parts for energy, they are heterotrophs.
- By the metabolic process like cellular respiration, the glucose present in the food ingested gets converted to ATP.
- The plant using photosynthesis reserves glucose molecules in their structures which gets broken in the animal body to gain energy.
Therefore, the ATP from the plant sources provides energy to the animals.
