Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following correctly describes cellular respiration?
A
It takes place in the chloroplast of most plant cells.
B
It happens only when cells need to produce more proteins.
C
It is the process that breaks down sugars and releases energy.
D
It happens in the cellular organelles that do not have a membrane.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation .

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is broken down by the cells in the presence of oxygen to obtain energy. Ans this process is called cellular respiration.

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: -The reactions of cellular respiration are catabolic reactions. In catabolic reactions, bonds are broken in larger molecules and energy is released. In cellular respiration, bonds are broken in glucose, and this releases the chemical energy that was stored in the glucose bonds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is the splitting, or lysis of glucose. Glycolysis converts the 6-carbon glucose into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen. During glycolysis a small amount of NADH is made as are four ATP.
