Detailed explanation-1: -Which best describes how a diet with low carbohydrate intake would affect glucose levels and cellular respiration? Glucose levels would decrease, and cellular respiration would decrease.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbs provide your body with energy Glucose in the blood is taken up into your body’s cells and used to produce a fuel molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a series of complex processes known as cellular respiration. Cells can then use ATP to power a variety of metabolic tasks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are storage molecules for energy. Living things access energy by breaking down carbohydrate molecules during the process of cellular respiration. Plants produce carbohydrates during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer: Mitochondria take in C. Carbohydrate, burn it and release ATP for cellular energy. Mitochondrial is the specific organelle responsible for the uptake of carbohydrates which is subjected to cellular respiration processes. The metabolism of carbohydrates is completed in the mitochondria of the cell.
