why do organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration

A.to perform glycolysis
B, to photosynthesize
C. to grow and reproduce
D. to break down ATP

C. to grow and reproduce

Organisms need cellular respiration to obtain energy from glucose to fuel various metabolic processes, including growth and reproduction. Cellular respiration produces ATP, which is used as the primary source of energy for cellular activities. Without energy obtained through cellular respiration, organisms would not be able to grow, reproduce, or carry out essential life processes.
