Question

1. what are the three main products of cellular respiration?

a) glucose, oxygen, and water
b) carbon dioxide, water, and atp
c) oxygen, atp, and glucose
d) carbon dioxide, glucose, and water

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ATP\). Glucose and oxygen are reactants. Carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the energy - carrying molecule) are the main products.

• Option A: Glucose and oxygen are reactants, not products.
• Option B: Carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and ATP are the correct products as per the cellular respiration equation.
• Option C: Oxygen and glucose are reactants, not products.
• Option D: Glucose is a reactant, not a product.

Answer:

B. Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
