Question

  1. the termrespiration in cellular respiration refers to the use of:

a) water
b) sunlight
c) oxygen
d) glucose

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cellular respiration is a process that involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy. In aerobic cellular respiration, oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. Water is a by - product of cellular respiration (from the combination of hydrogen ions and oxygen). Sunlight is used in photosynthesis, not in the process of cellular respiration (in the context of the term'respiration' in cellular respiration). Glucose is the substrate that is broken down, but the term'respiration' here specifically refers to the use of oxygen (in aerobic respiration).

Answer:

C. Oxygen
