Goats are herbivores. Which statement describes the way a goat uses energy?

Question

A. A goat converts the energy in glucose sugar from plants into ATP through cellular respiration.

B. A goat converts the ATP from plants into glucose sugar through cellular respiration.

C. A goat changes plants into protein through ATP synthesis

D.  A goat performs photosynthesis to convert the glucose in plants into ATP.

Answer 1

A. A goat converts the energy in glucose sugar from plants into ATP through cellular respiration.

Goats, as herbivores, obtain energy by consuming plants. The energy in the glucose sugar found in plants is converted into ATP through a process called cellular respiration. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose and the production of ATP, which is used as an energy source for the body's functions.
