Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This process releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present.
A
photosynthesis
B
light-independent reaction
C
cellular respiration
D
light-dependent reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During glycolysis, a glucose molecule with six carbon atoms is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, each of which contains three carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a process that releases glucose/energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make ATP when oxygen/carbon dioxide is present.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fermentation is the process of making ATP in the presence of oxygen.
