Question

question 2 of 10
what are the products of cellular respiration?
a. energy, carbon dioxide, and water
b. oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water
c. nadph and oxygen
d. glucose and atp

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{Energy (ATP)}\). Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)) are reactants. The products are carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and energy (in the form of ATP). Option B is incorrect because oxygen is a reactant. Option C (\(NADPH\) and \(O_2\)) is related to photosynthesis. Option D (glucose) is a reactant in cellular respiration.

Answer:

A. Energy, carbon dioxide, and water
