Answer:

b. ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration begins in the cells' cytoplasm, where glucose is broken down for energy processing. The process continues in the mitochondria, where energy is produced by aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen.

Cells break down energy-rich bonds in sugars in the form of glucose to produce carbon dioxide and (water) during aerobic respiration in mitochondria to receive energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
