Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is a ____ reaction because it is known for producing energy.
A
endergonic
B
exergonic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a spontaneous process because it occurs without an input of energy. It is an exergonic reaction because it releases energy from glucose molecules. The energy released during cellular respiration is used to perform body activities such as muscle contraction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process cells use to convert the energy in the chemical bonds of nutrients to ATP energy. Aerobic respiration is an exergonic pathway that requires molecular oxygen (O2). Anaerobic exergonic pathways do not require oxygen and include anaerobic respiration and fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration is an exergonic process as it releases energy by the end of its reaction. In cellular respiration, complex molecules are broken down into simpler molecules by breaking weak bonds and converting them into ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Respiration involves the breakdown of complex food materials into simpler molecules. Hence it is a catabolic process. It is accompanied by the release of chemical energy (ATP), so it’s an exergonic process also.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration releases energy by using the energy in glucose to produce ATP. This ATP is produced by combining adenosine diphosphate (ADP) with a phosphate group. Adenosine diphosphate has two phosphates, so when another phosphate group is added to it, adenosine triphosphate is produced.
