Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option C summarizes the overall pathway of aerobic respiration by including the reactants and products of the process, along with the energy currency ATP. It shows the breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O, with the release of energy used to generate ATP. Option A and D have additional and incorrect reactants and products, while option B and E do not include all the necessary components of aerobic respiration.
