RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:Cellular respiration is the process where glucose & other macromolecules are converted into ATP in the presence of oxygen.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -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. Cellular respiration consists of three metabolic processes: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer C. You can obtain energy from both proteins and fat even though the initial energy expenditure is much. The preferred molecule that cells will use to generate energy is glucose.
