Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What molecule is the main product of cellular respiration which cells need for energy?
A
ATP
B
glucose
C
water
D
oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy. One molecule of glucose can produce a net of 30-32 ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main product of cellular respiration is ATP; waste products include carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP is composed of ribose sugar, adenine base and phosphate group. The three most important molecules needed for the production of ATP are fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.
