Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glucose combines with oxygen and produces ____
A
Gas
B
Energy
C
Liquid
D
Carbon
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: -Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provide this answer. When molecular hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) are combined and allowed to react together, energy is released and the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen can combine to form either water or hydrogen peroxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the reaction between glucose and oxygen is an exothermic reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (the currency of energy in cells).
