Question

Cellular respiration allows organisms to release the energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose, C6H12O6. The energy in glucose is used to produce ATP, which cells use to supply their energy needs. During aerobic cellular respiration, oxygen is reduced and _________ is produced as a by-product of this specific intermediate reaction. A) water B) ozone C) glucose D) carbon monoxide

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Water

Explanation: During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen and the products include ATP, carbon dioxide and water. The production of water is the result of the reduction of oxygen. Oxygen becomes the final hydrogen ion acceptor in this case.
