Question

which of the following statements is true regarding cellular respiration? (1 point)
cellular respiration only occurs in prokaryotic (bacterial) cells.
cellular respiration cannot take place in the presence of oxygen.
cellular respiration breaks down atp to form energy - rich adp.
cellular respiration breaks down glucose initially produced in the process of photosynthesis

Explanation:

• Cellular respiration occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, so the first option is wrong.
• Aerobic cellular respiration requires oxygen, so the second option is wrong.
• Cellular respiration produces ATP from ADP, not the other way around, so the third option is wrong.
• Photosynthesis produces glucose, and cellular respiration breaks down glucose (in the presence of oxygen in aerobic respiration) to release energy.

Answer:

Cellular Respiration breaks down glucose initially produced in the process of photosynthesis.
