CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a gas that is required as a reactant for cellular respiration?
A
oxygen
B
carbon dioxide
C
water
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen and glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration. The main product of cellular respiration is ATP; waste products include carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen is required in the cellular respiration in the electron transporter chain. It serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain facilitating the movement of electrons down the chain hence producing the ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The raw materials required for aerobic cellular respiration are respiratory substrates (glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, or organic acids) and oxygen but in the case of anaerobic respiration raw material is respiratory substrate only.
