Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true as glucose is broken down during cellular respiration? It is broken down into carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O).

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis. Stage one of cellular respiration is glycolysis. Glycolysis is the splitting, or lysis of glucose. Glycolysis converts the 6-carbon glucose into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules.
