Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is not a product of cellular respiration?
A
oxygen
B
carbon dioxide
C
water
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Oxygen is not a product of respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration can occur both aerobically (using oxygen), or anaerobically (without oxygen). During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the products of cellular respiration? 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reactants of cellular respiration are oxygen and sugar, which are the products of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration occurs in plant and animal cells. Plants use sunlight during photosynthesis to convert energy from the sun in order to manufacture sugar and the chemical energy ATP and to release oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process. Carbon dioxide and water are products of this reaction.
