Question

animal cells perform functions using energy that is derived from glucose (c₆h₁₂o₆). which molecule is required for animal cells to obtain the most energy possible from a molecule of glucose?
water
oxygen
lactic acid
carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Animal cells perform aerobic respiration to obtain the most energy possible from glucose. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen. Water and carbon dioxide are products of aerobic respiration. Lactic acid is a product of anaerobic respiration (which produces less energy than aerobic respiration).

Answer:

oxygen
