RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the end goal of respiration?
A
For plant and animal cells to have energy
B
For plant and animal cells to have food
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a three-stage process. The first step is glycolysis followed by the Krebs cycles and finally the electron transport chain. Therefore the main purpose of the respiration in the plant is to breakdown the food molecules and from that finally, yield the energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, electrons from glucose move gradually through the electron transport chain towards oxygen, passing to lower and lower energy states and releasing energy at each step. The goal of cellular respiration is to capture this energy in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function.
