I need energy! I am going to eat a good lunch. Then, the food molecules will get broken down and absorbed into the cells. Then in the mitochondria, the glucose (food) meets with oxygen and this process happens!

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Fermentation
B	Cellular Respiration
C	Photosynthesis
D	Glycolysis

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemical energy in food The food we eat contains stored chemical energy. As the bonds between the atoms in food loosen or break, a chemical reaction takes place, and new compounds are created.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Glycolysis consists of an energy-requiring phase followed by an energy-releasing phase.
