Question

cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose and it produces____ and ____. carbon dioxide, atp ogygen, atp carbon dioxide, glucose none of the above

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{ATP}\). So, it consumes glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)), and produces carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the energy - carrying molecule).

• Option 1: Carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) is a product of cellular respiration, and ATP is the energy molecule produced.
• Option 2: Oxygen (\(O_2\)) is a reactant, not a product.
• Option 3: Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) is a reactant, not a product.

Answer:

A. Carbon dioxide, ATP
