RESPIRATION IN PLANTS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is an essential process that gives cells the energy they need for their life processes. What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
A
water and glucose
B
water and carbon dioxide
C
oxygen and glucose
D
glucose and ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -General Equation for Cellular Respiration All eukaryotic organisms can convert use glucose as food. This is a balanced equation of the cellular respiration of glucose. A glucose molecule combines with 6 oxygen molecules, producing 6 molecules of water, 6 molecules of water and ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reactants of cellular respiration vary at each stage, but initially, it requires an input of glucose, ATP, and NAD+. NAD+, a nicotinamide derived from vitamin B3, is a universal electron acceptor that is crucial in the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reactants of cellular respiration are oxygen and sugar, which are the products of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration occurs in plant and animal cells. Plants use sunlight during photosynthesis to convert energy from the sun in order to manufacture sugar and the chemical energy ATP and to release oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration is the aerobic process by which living cells break down glucose molecules, release energy, and form molecules of ATP . Generally speaking, this three-stage process involves glucose and oxygen reacting to form carbon dioxide and water.
