because it produces glucose

because it produces carbon dioxide

because it produces water

because it produces energy

check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

To determine why cellular respiration is exothermic, recall: Exothermic reactions release energy. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose, releasing energy (ATP). Producing glucose is part of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are byproducts, but the key for exothermic is energy release. So the correct reason is it produces energy.

Answer:

D. because it produces energy
