RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens during respiration
A
oxygen is released into the air
B
glucose is broken down, releasing energy
C
carbohydrates are released into the bloodstream
D
water and carbon dioxide are converted into energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The glucose is broken down first through the anaerobic process of glycolysis, leading to the production of some ATP and pyruvate end-product.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -During respiration, there is a release of carbon-dioxide and water when glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen. During this reaction, the energy is released. This energy is stored in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
