AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is the process that our cells use to ____
A
convert sugar (glucose) into energy (ATP)
B
break food down into smaller molecules (sugars)
C
makes acid
D
breathe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cellular respiration is a process that releases glucose/energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make ATP when oxygen/carbon dioxide is present. Cellular respiration is called an aerobic process, because it needs oxygen/carbon dioxide to take place.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
