Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The raw materials of cellular respiration consists of
A
Oxygen and Glucose
B
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
C
Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight
D
Carbon Dioxide and Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts. The three stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis (an anaerobic process), the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The raw materials required for aerobic cellular respiration are respiratory substrates (glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, or organic acids) and oxygen but in the case of anaerobic respiration raw material is respiratory substrate only.

Detailed explanation-3: -The citric acid cycle produces 36 ATP molecules. So, in aerobic respiration, a total of 38 molecules of ATP are created, with 2 ATP molecules formed outside the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -The raw materials of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen and the products of cellular respiration are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. Glucose obtained from food undergoes several reactions with or without oxygen to produce energy in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The overall chemical reaction for cellular respiration is one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and six molecules of oxygen (O2) yields six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and six molecules of water (H2O).
