A)The molecules that enter the reaction are glucose and water.
B)The purpose is to produce energy for cellular work.
C)An energy by-product is heat.
D)The waste product is carbon dioxide.

Question

B) The primary purpose of cell respiration is indeed to produce energy for cellular work.
C) One of the energy by-products of cell respiration is indeed heat.
D) Carbon dioxide is indeed a waste product of cell respiration.
A, E, and F are incorrect. Glucose and oxygen, not glucose and water, enter the reaction. Oxygen, not glucose, is used to produce energy, and carbon dioxide, not oxygen, is produced as a waste product. Oxygen is not produced during cell respiration, and as the rate of cell respiration increases, the rate of breathing typically increases as well to supply the body with the oxygen needed for increased respiration.
