Which of the following is produced when electrons are accepted by oxygen during cellular respiration?
A)Anions
B)Cations
C)Metabolic water
D)Lipids
E)Carbohydrates

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When oxygen accepts electrons during cellular respiration, it combines with hydrogen ions (H+) to form water (H2O). This water is called metabolic water and is a byproduct of the electron transport chain during respiration. Therefore, the correct choice is C. Anions (A) and cations (B) are generally ions that are produced during chemical reactions, but not necessarily during cellular respiration. Lipids (D) and carbohydrates (E) are organic molecules that are used as energy sources during cellular respiration, but they are not directly produced by the acceptance of electrons by oxygen.
