Question

Mitochondria perform cellular respiration, a process that uses oxygen, generates carbon dioxide, and produces chemical energy for the cell. Which answer below indicates a correct pairing of the material "burned" and the form of energy produced during cellular respiration?

a. fat, ADP
b. sugar, fat
c. sugar, ATP
d. fat, protein

Answer 1

c. sugar, ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

basically glucose and oxygen undergo a combustion reaction among other things which will go on to produce ATP. So oxygen plus glucose or sugar produces when "burned" within a mitochondria = ATP.
