Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is cellular respiration?
A
the breakdown of glucose to release ATP
B
the breakdown of glucose to release NADH
C
the breakdown of glucose to release FADH
D
the breakdown of glucose to release carbon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the aerobic process by which living cells break down glucose molecules, release energy, and form molecules of ATP . Generally speaking, this three-stage process involves glucose and oxygen reacting to form carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes the energy stored in glucose and transfers it to ATP. Cellular respiration has three stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport.

Detailed explanation-4: -(sel RES-pih-RAY-shun) A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, aerobic respiration, and oxidative metabolism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.
