Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which one accurately describes the difference between respiration and cell respiration?
A
respiration produces glucose while cell respiration does not
B
cell respiration is a process in cells where energy is made, while respiration is breathing
C
respiration occurs in cells while cell respiration produces glucose
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy, which is then used by cells to carry out the cellular function. Respiration is an involuntary chemical process. There is no production of energy in this process. Energy is produced and released in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, but cellular respiration converts light energy into heat energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three differences are as follows: Burning is a single step as opposed to respiration wherein a series of chemical steps take place. Burning is carried out by heat whereas respiration is carried out by enzymes. Burning is a physio-chemical process whereas respiration is a biochemical process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration is 19 times more effective at releasing energy than anaerobic respiration because aerobic processes extract most of the glucose molecules’ energy in the form of ATP, while anaerobic processes leave most of the ATP-generating sources in the waste products.
