Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants for cellular respiration?
A
Oxygen and Water
B
Glucose and Carbon Dioxide
C
Oxygen and Glucose
D
Water and Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The starting reactants of cellular respiration include glucose, ATP, and NAD+; and the final products include ATP and H2O.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, and the reactants are one molecule of glucose and two molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The ATP molecules provide energy so that the reaction can occur.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxygen and glucose represent the reactants, while carbon dioxide, water, and energy represent the products. Reactants are the molecules that combine to start the reaction. Products are those molecules produced during cellular respiration.
