Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What gas is released into the air during cellular respiration?
A
oxygen
B
carbon dioxide
C
water
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The stage of cellular respiration in which carbon dioxide release takes place is the citric acid cycle. Aerobic cellular respiration has three steps, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration is an oxidative process whereby an electron donor is oxidized and oxygen is reduced to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy [3].
