• The plant could not absorb nutrients from soil.

• The plant could not absorb water from the soil.

• The plant could not produce carbon dioxide and oxygen.

• The plant could not produce food through photosynthesis.

In cellular respiration, approximately 38% of the energy contained in glucose is released for an organism to use carrying out life processes. Which best explains what happens to the remaining 62% of the energy contained in glucose?

• The energy is used to start the process of cellular respiration when more glucose is consumed by the organism.

• The energy is used to convert leftover glucose into protein to be stored by the cells of the organism.

• The energy is stored by the cells and released later when needed by the organim.

• The energy is converted to thermal energy, which provides heat to the organism.
