Which of the following best summarizes the process of cellular respiration in plants and animals?
A
Glucose + Oxygen
B
Oxygen + Carbon Dioxide
C
Water + Carbon Dioxide
D
Carbon Dioxide + Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration is best described as E) changing of stored chemical energy in food molecules to a form usable by organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2–> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP is the complete balanced chemical formula for cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.
