Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the presence of oxygen during aerobic respiration.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules. Respiration is a series of chemical reactions, but this equation summarises the overall process. Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen, making water and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration or respiration is the process by which cells breakdown glucose to release energy. Carbon dioxide and water are also released in the process. This can happen in the presence or absence of oxygen. When respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen, it is called aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Most of the steps of cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria. 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.
