Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration uses glucose and ____ to make energy.
A
carbon dioxide
B
glucose
C
oxygen
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products. 8. Plants have mitochondria and can perform cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy. One molecule of glucose can produce a net of 30-32 ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -The energy for cellular respiration comes from the glucose molecule that starts the process and the two ATP molecules that are used in glycolysis. The energy that is used in cellular respiration comes from breaking the bonds holding the glucose molecule together. This energy is then used to produce the ATP.
