Question

read the passage to answer the question.
even though scorpions are related to spiders, there are many differences between the two organisms. one difference is that scorpion young do not hatch from eggs as spiders do. scorpions are born live, two at a time, and they immediately crawl onto the mother’s back for protection and care. they remain there for two weeks as they grow big enough to take care of themselves.
scorpion cells undergo aerobic respiration, just as human cells do.
during aerobic respiration, which process takes place?
○ oxygen is used, and atp is made.
○ carbon dioxide and water are used.
○ glucose and oxygen are released.
○ carbon dioxide and glucose are made.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is a process where oxygen is used to break down glucose to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The general equation for aerobic respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{ATP}\). In this process, oxygen is consumed (not released) and ATP is synthesized. Carbon dioxide and water are produced (not used as reactants in aerobic respiration), and glucose is broken down (not made).

Answer:

Oxygen is used, and ATP is made.
