Gene for cellular respiration — COX6B
<p>This table shows the differences in genome sizes and the number of genes that they have. Of course, the human will always have the most genes, having 46 chromosomes. The plant A. thaliana, in contrast, only has 10 chromosomes, so the number of genes will obviously be smaller.</p>
<p>But the similarities between plants and humans are held in the <strong>function </strong>of the genes that are encoded: the most important one is cellular respiration.</p>
<p>Cellular respiration is a process that will allow, in an aerobic environment, to convert oxygen and sugars to CO2, water but also ATP: the molecule that carries all the energy that is used in the cells of humans, plants, and all the other organisms in order to function.</p>
