CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do animals do with the carbon dioxide produced in their cells during cellular respiration?
A
store it for later use
B
reuse it during photosynthesis
C
exhale it in the breathing process
D
combine it with water to make sugar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the process of respiration when an animal breathes, it takes in oxygen gas from the atmosphere and releases carbon dioxide gas back into the atmosphere from the animal’s body. During cellular respiration, this carbon dioxide is released as the waste product produced by the animal’s cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration animal cells combine oxygen with food molecules to release energy to live and function. Remember that cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. Animals use energy to grow, reproduce, and to function. They release the carbon dioxide into the air as a waste product.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals do just the opposite of plants: they take in air from the atmosphere, use the oxygen, and exhale the CO2.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. 8.

Detailed explanation-5: -The animal’s metabolism converts the oxygen into energy. During this process, a waste gas called carbon dioxide is produced. To get rid of it, the carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs, where it is collected and exhaled.
