CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is cell respiration?
A
controlled release of energy in the form of ATP from organic compounds in a cell
B
when cells grow
C
uncontrolled release of energy in the form of ATP from organic compounds in a cell
D
respiration that is released into the soil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP. ATP from cell respiration is immediately available as a source of energy in the cell. Anaerobic cell respiration gives a small yield of ATP from glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells release the energy in those organic molecules by breaking them down. Through cellular respiration and fermentation, those bonds are broken releasing the potential energy of organic molecules into kinetic energy that cells use to do work.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is the type of respiration through which cells can break down sugars to generate energy in the absence of oxygen. This is in contrast to the highly efficient process of aerobic respiration, which relies on oxygen to produce energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration can be defined generally as the process by which chemical energy is released during the oxidation of organic molecules.
