Question

What happens to the glucose molecule during the process of cellular respiration? (5 points)

Select one:
a. It gets broken down.
b. It forms oxygen.
c. It builds muscles.
d. It uses up energy.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option a, that is, it gets broken down.

A set of metabolic reactions and procedures, which occurs in the cells of organisms to transform biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then discharge waste components is known as cellular respiration. At the time of cellular respiration, a molecule of glucose gets dissociated slowly into water and carbon dioxide. With it, some of the ATP is generated directly in the reactions, which transform glucose.
