Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The raw materials for a model summarizing cellular respiration is ; ( B ) Glucose and oxygen.

The statement that best describes an event in the model which contributes to ATP production is ; ( D ) carbon atoms in the glucose are transformed into energy in the form of ATP

Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions whereby the cells in an organisms take in oxygen and converts glucose found in the cells into ATP ( emergy ) needed by the organisms. while carbon dioxide and water is given out as a by product in the process. while

During ATP production the carbon atoms in the glucose are transformed into energy in the form of ATP

Hence we can conclude that The answer to your questions are B and D
