Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This process releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present.
A
photosynthesis
B
light-independent reaction
C
cellular respiration
D
light-dependent reaction
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: -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-3: -The answer is cellular respiration. This process releases the energy in glucose to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that powers all the work of cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is the process of extracting energy in the form of ATP from the glucose in the food you eat. Oxygen and glucose are both reactants of cellular respiration. When one molecule of glucose is broken down, it can be converted to a net total of 36 or 38 molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Glycolysis consists of an energy-requiring phase followed by an energy-releasing phase.
