CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants (ingredients) for cellular respiration?
A
Water and Glucose
B
Oxygen and Glucose
C
Carbon Dioxide and Water
D
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen and glucose represent the reactants, while carbon dioxide, water, and energy represent the products. Reactants are the molecules that combine to start the reaction. Products are those molecules produced during cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, the reactants-glucose (sugar) and oxygen-combine together to form new products: carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced as the form of energy that can be used for other cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts. The three stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis (an anaerobic process), the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).
