Question

Cellular respiration refers collectively to the intracellular reactions in which energy-rich molecules are broken down to form O₂.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cellular respiration refers to the intracellular reactions in which energy-rich molecules (such as glucose) are broken down to form ATP and release CO₂ as a waste product. While O₂ is involved in one of the stages of cellular respiration (specifically, in aerobic respiration), it is not the end product. Therefore, the statement given in the question is false.

Cellular Respiration Refers Collectively to the Intracellular Reactions in Which
