CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is the ____
A
process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food moleucules in the presence of oxygen.
B
process of trapping sunlight to make glucose and oxygen.
C
a process that only plants use to make food.
D
a process that animals use to make food.
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: -The biochemical process that hydrolyzes glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen is known as aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -cellular respiration, the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.
