Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants of cellular respiration in plants?
A
carbon dioxide and water
B
glucose and carbon dioxide
C
the reactants of the electron transport chain
D
oxygen and glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During cellular respiration, the reactants-glucose (sugar) and oxygen-combine together to form new products: carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced as the form of energy that can be used for other cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The reactants for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Glucose is a sugar molecule that is produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Plants use the sun’s energy to form glucose from carbon dioxide and water, and energy is stored within the bonds of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reactants for pyruvate oxidation are pyruvate, NAD+, and coenzyme A (CoA). One TCA cycle requires acetyl-CoA, one ADP, three NAD+, and one FAD. Finally, oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain use the reactants ADP, NADH, FADH2, and O2.
