Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process in which mitochondria use oxygen to break down glucose molecules to produce energy
A
photosynthesis
B
cellular digestion
C
cellular respiration
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates.

Detailed explanation-3: -respiration. Most of the energy synthesized by mitochondria comes from the process of cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, food molecules are broken down using oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stages of Cellular Respiration Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell and does not require oxygen, whereas the Krebs cycle and electron transport occur in the mitochondria and do require oxygen.
