Question

1. ann is drawing a model of what happens when a person eats an apple.which statement best describes the next step in anns model?

Explanation:

When a person eats an apple, the apple is digested into sugar molecules. In cells, sugar molecules (like glucose) undergo cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a process where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to release energy (in the form of ATP).
Let’s analyze each option:

• Option 1: Sugar molecules break down further to release energy inside of cells. This is correct as it aligns with the process of cellular respiration.
• Option 2: Sugar molecules do not combine to absorb energy made by cells. Cells make energy (ATP) from breaking down sugar, not the other way around.
• Option 3: Sugar molecules breaking down releases carbon - dioxide and water (and energy), not oxygen.
• Option 4: Sugar molecules are not involved in absorbing waste material from cells in the way described. Waste absorption is more related to excretory processes which are different from sugar metabolism.

Answer:

Sugar molecules break down further to release energy inside of cells.
