RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The glucose required for respiration is obtained from:
A
The air
B
Food
C
Water
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Respiration is the process of release of energy by breaking down food molecules(glucose) that are stored in the body cells. There are two types of respiration: Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The majority of animals and plants release energy from food by aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -It comes from the glucose in foods that you eat! Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecules. Once glucose is digested and transported to your cells, a process called cellular respiration releases the stored energy and converts it to energy that your cells can use.

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: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-5: -During the process of respiration, oxidation of high energy food substances takes place in the cells of the living organisms to produce energy. The energy released in the process is in the form of the chemical substance called ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate).
