CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a reactant of cellular respiration?
A
Oxygen
B
Carbon Dioxide
C
Glucose
D
Glucose and Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

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: -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-4: -The first phase of cellular respiration, glycolysis, uses glucose as a reactant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product.
