Question
what would happen to a cell if cellular respiration suddenly ceased?
o atp production would increase significantly.
o the cell would use water for energy.
o glucose breakdown would increase.
o glucose breakdown would nearly stop or cease entirely.
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce ATP. Without it, glucose breakdown would halt as it is a key part of the respiration - related metabolic pathways. Water is not a direct energy source for cells in the context of normal metabolism, and ATP production is a result of glucose breakdown during respiration, so it would not increase.
