What term is sued to describe the chemical process in which oxygen and glucose react to release energy inside body cells?
A
respiration
B
inhaling
C
exhaling
D
breathing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -cellular respiration, the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.

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. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the aerobic process by which living cells break down glucose molecules, release energy, and form molecules of ATP . Generally speaking, this three-stage process involves glucose and oxygen reacting to form carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose reacts with oxygen to produce energy, so it is an oxidation reaction. Energy is released in this reaction, and it is also an exothermic reaction. Glucose is oxidized in the human body and releases energy. Therefore, this reaction with oxygen is called an oxidation reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
