the breakdown of glucose to release ATP
B
the breakdown of glucose to release NADH
C
the breakdown of glucose to release FADH
D
the breakdown of glucose to release carbon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (sel RES-pih-RAY-shun) A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, aerobic respiration, and oxidative metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is where glucose is broken down into its chemical potential energy and stored as ATP (Adenosine triphosphate.
