RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:Water is a product of cellular respiration
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The final end products of cellular respiration are ATP and H2O. Glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules, four ATPs (a net of two ATP), two NADH, and two H2O. Therefore, without the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the only process that can occur, and only two ATP molecules may be produced for each glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water is formed when hydrogen and oxygen react to form H2O during the electron transport chain, which is the final stage of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: No, oxygen is not a product of cellular respiration. Chemical reactions consists of two parts, reactants and products. The reactants are the starting materials that are converted into new materials called products.
