What is the main job of cellular respiration?

Convert food into energy
Replicate DNA
Break down proteins
Synthesize proteins

The correct answer is: Convert food into energy

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert food into energy. Option A is the correct answer because it accurately describes the main function of cellular respiration. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the main job of cellular respiration. While DNA replication, protein breakdown, and protein synthesis are all important processes within cells, they are not the primary function of cellular respiration. Therefore, A is the best answer choice.
