Which of the following statements is true of all organisms in every environment?

A.
They avoid interaction as much as possible.
B.
They must consume other organisms for energy.
C.
They must compete for essential resources.
D.
They are able to produce their own food.

C

Explanation: All organisms someway somehow must compete for essential resources.

they must complete for essential resources.

Explanation:

In all environments, organisms must compete for essential resources because the quantities of these resources are limited. Examples of essential resources include food, water, sunlight, and shelter. Also, every population must interact with and is linked, directly or indirectly, with many others. For example, some organisms are able to produce their own food, while others must consume other organisms in order to acquire energy.

cellular respiration oxidizes food into energy in the form of atps.

glycolysis (6 c hexose) > 2x atps are used > 6c hexose biphosphate > 2 x 3c triphosphate >

2 x 3c pyruvate (2x nadh produced from nad) and (4x atp produced)

pyruvate actively pumped mitochondrial matrix.
