In cell respiration, the breakdown of glucose to form ATP must take place in the presence of:
A)carbon dioxide
B)water
C)hydrogen
D)oxygen

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell respiration involves aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. Without oxygen, cell respiration cannot proceed efficiently, and only a small amount of ATP can be produced via anaerobic respiration. Carbon dioxide, water, and hydrogen are byproducts of cell respiration, but they are not required for the process to occur.
