CELL RESPIRATION

OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:Water is produced as a byproduct during this stage of cell respiration.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -In respiration, the by-products are water and carbon dioxide molecules produced by the breakdown of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Toward the end of the electron transport chain, the hydrogen from the coenzymes meets the oxygen that the cell has consumed and reacts with it to form water. In this way, water is created as a byproduct of the metabolism reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water is formed during aerobic respiration when Glucose breaks down to form carbon dioxide, water and energy. This process takes place only in the presence of oxygen. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-5: -The final end products of cellular respiration are ATP and H2O. Glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules, four ATPs (a net of two ATP), two NADH, and two H2O. Therefore, without the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the only process that can occur, and only two ATP molecules may be produced for each glucose molecule.
