Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the process of breaking down glucose to form lots of ATP?
A
Respiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Glycolysis
D
All of these
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: -Glycolysis Is a Central ATP-producing Pathway 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-3: -Cellular respiration is the process of extracting energy in the form of ATP from the glucose in the food you eat. Oxygen and glucose are both reactants of cellular respiration. When one molecule of glucose is broken down, it can be converted to a net total of 36 or 38 molecules of ATP.
