RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are needed for cell respiration?
A
Sunlight, water, carbon dioxide
B
Glucose, oxygen
C
Sunlight, water, oxygen
D
Glucose, carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts. The three stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis (an anaerobic process), the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The raw materials required for aerobic cellular respiration are respiratory substrates (glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, or organic acids) and oxygen but in the case of anaerobic respiration raw material is respiratory substrate only.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Glucose has an essential role in cellular respiration in the cell and is the preferred fuel source for our bodies.
