Question

The purpose of cellular respiration is to enable cells to create and use _____. A. DNA B. ATP C. oxygen D. carbon dioxide

Answer 1

B) ATP
ATP is the simplest form of “energy” for cells

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B, ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

To perform cellular respiration, oxygen is required which would help in deriving energy from the food. In cellular respiration, energy is extracted in the form of ATP from glucose. For each glucose molecule two molecules of ATP are released and in the glycolysis stage two ATPs are used thereby making a net gain of two ATP. The maximum ATP is released through the electron transport chain (ETC) phase.
