Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular Respiration pairs several ____ reactions together to synthesize ATP
A
redox
B
endergonic & exergonic
C
acid-base
D
single replacement
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synthesis of ATP in photosynthesis as well as respiration is possible by the help of several oxidation and reduction reactions. This can be termed as redox reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a redox reaction, i.e., both oxidation & reduction occurs. There is both loss and gain of electrons in respiration. Oxidation refers to electron loss, and reduction refers to electron gain. Here, glucose molecules are oxidized and oxygen molecules are reduced to generate water molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The electron transport chain is a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration (C6H12O6 + 6 O2
