Cellular respiration

Humans could survive on just anaerobic cellular respiration, but it would be hard on the body, because we also need the energy produced by plants through photosynthesis to absorb all the things we need to live. We use anaerobic cellular respiration to convert food into ATP for energy to function properly. Warm-blooded animals are more active than cold-blooded animals because they use more energy. Humans for example have an average body temperature of 98.6 degrees and for the body to function properly, it must have enough ATP energy to work. A crocodile on the other hand has an average body temperature of 86-89 degrees, and is categorized as cold-blooded, so it needs less ATP energy to function. Cellular respiration is crucial for life, as well as photosynthesis. Without plants using photosynthesis to convert energy and carbon dioxide to oxygen, we would not be here today, so thank your plants the next time you see one.
