NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is glucose and why is it important in cellular respiration? Glucose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, with the chemical formula C6H12O6. Glucose represents the primary reactant used during cellular respiration, in which ATP is produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Oxygen is not a product of respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular Respiration (mitochondria) Cellular respiration allows organisms to use (release) energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose (C6H12O6). The energy in glucose is used to produce ATP. Cells use ATP to supply their energy needs.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
