Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Cell metabolism: Set of reactions ____ of an organism that aims to produce ____ for the functioning of cells.

A	____ chemistry ____ molecules
B	____ physics ____ energy
C	____ mechanics ____ energy
D	____ chemicals ____ energy

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolic reactions provide energy in multiple-step processes in which metabolites are oxidized. Biosynthetic reactions, which build the necessary compounds to maintain organisms, are often reduction reactions. Thus, organisms require both oxidizing and reducing agents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction in which glucose and oxygen are turned into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP). In this reaction, glucose and oxygen are reactants, while water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP) are products.
