Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which item listed is NOT produced in the process of cellular respiration?
A
CO ₂ (carbon dioxide)
B
C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)
C
H₂O (water)
D
Energy in the form of ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is glucose that is not produced in the process of cellular respiration. Glucose is one of the reactants in the process which produces carbon dioxide, water and ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Oxygen is not a product of respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -During cellular respiration, NADH and ATP are used to make glucose. ATP synthase acts as both an enzyme and a channel protein. The carbons from glucose end up in ATP molecules at the end of cellular respiration. Energy is stored within the chemical bonds within the glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. 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-5: -The main product of cellular respiration is ATP; waste products include carbon dioxide and water.
