CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why do we need Cellular Respiration?
A
to make ATP energy
B
To turn glucose into ATP we can use
C
so plants can make food
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is used to generate usable ATP energy in order to support many other reactions in the body. ATP is particularly important for energetically unfavorable reactions that would otherwise not occur without an energy input.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose’s role in cellular respiration is essential, as it provides the building blocks for ultimately creating ATP, the energy currency used by living organisms. The structure of glucose with carbons numbered. Cellular respiration refers to the breakdown of organic molecules into energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is the main source of fuel that our cells’ mitochondria use to convert caloric energy from food into ATP, which is an energy form that can be used by cells. ATP is made via a process called cellular respiration that occurs in the mitochondria of a cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation. The energy released is used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane. This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group.
