Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The main purpose of Cellular Respiration is to
A
make carbon dioxide
B
make water
C
make glucose
D
make ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the purpose of cellular respiration? Cellular respiration is used to generate usable ATP energy in order to support many other reactions in the body. ATP is particularly important for energetically unfavorable reactions that would otherwise not occur without an energy input.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Your body uses cellular respiration to convert glucose to ATP and carbon dioxide using oxygen. Glucose moves through three stages in cellular respiration, glycolysis where glucose is converted to pyruvate, and two ATP and NADH are made.
