Answer :

Final answer:

The detailed answer covers the process of respiration, the cellulose cell walls in animals and plants, and Mendel's experiments with peas for genetics studies.

Both animals and plants have cellulose cell walls as a characteristic. It is a feature common to both groups.

Gregor Mendel conducted his genetics experiments on peas primarily, making them the organisms he used.
