Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is created as a product of cell respiration?
A
energy (ATP)
B
glucose (C6H12O6)
C
oxygen (O2)
D
sodium chloride (NaCl)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What are the products of cellular respiration? The final end products of cellular respiration are ATP and H2O. Glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules, four ATPs (a net of two ATP), two NADH, and two H2O.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -This energy is made available to do the work of the cell. The adenosine triphosphatase enzyme accomplishes the breakdown of an ATP molecule. The products of ATP breakdown are adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a phosphate ion.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP. Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use. It is the molecule that provides energy for your cells to perform work, such as moving your muscles as you walk down the street.
