Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) The purpose of cell respiration is to produce energy for cellular work.
C) An energy by-product of cell respiration is heat.
D) Waste product of cell respiration is carbon dioxide. 
A is incorrect because while glucose is one of the reactants, water is not. E is incorrect because oxygen is not produced during cell respiration, it is consumed. F is incorrect because an increase in the rate of cell respiration would actually increase the demand for oxygen, leading to an increase in breathing.
