Can green plants and humans use the same process to create ATP? No; green plants can use only photosynthesis, and humans use only cellular respiration. No; green plants can use only the Krebs cycle, and humans can use only the Calvin cycle. Yes; green plants and humans can both use photosynthesis to create ATP. Yes; green plants and humans can both use cellular respiration to create ATP.

Answer:
The correct answer is Yes; green plants and humans can both use cellular respiration to create ATP.
Cellular respiration refers to a set of biochemical reactions take place in order to harness energy from the nutrients and convert it into more usable form i.e. ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
In aerobic conditions, cellular respiration is a sum up of glycolysis, formation of Acetyl Co-A, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells and rest of the reactions take place in mitochondria of both the cells.
Note: plants also respire the same way the animals do. They oxidize glucose completely in presence of oxygen to produce ATP, carbon dioxide and water.
In photosynthesis, plants make food or sugars from carbon dioxide and water with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll and release oxygen as byproduct.
The energy produced during light-dependent phase is completely utilized in light-independent phase or Calvin cycle to produce sugar or glucose.
