RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement best describes cellular respiration?
A
It occurs in animal cells but not in plant cells.
B
It converts energy in food into a more usable form.
C
It uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
D
It stores energy in food molecules.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration converts energy in food into a more usable form. This statement is best described the cellular respiration. You know that cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose molecules and converts it into a form of energy that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration is best described as E) changing of stored chemical energy in food molecules to a form usable by organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxidative phosphorylation In 1951 it was discovered that the transfer of one pair of electrons to oxygen results in the formation of three molecules of ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation is the major mechanism by which the large amounts of energy in foodstuffs are conserved and made available to the cell.
