Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the process of breaking down glucose to form lots of ATP?
A
Respiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Glycolysis
D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Aerobic respiration converts glucose into energy and makes two waste products: carbon dioxide and water.
