Question

1. (02.06 mc) which description properly describes a step involved in cellular respiration? (3 points) glucose is created, then the energy gained is transferred to the energy molecule. carbon dioxide is combined with oxygen to make glucose. water is divided into carbon dioxide and glucose. oxygen is combined with the carbon atoms left from the glucose molecule.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose is broken - down to release energy. In the final stage of aerobic cellular respiration, oxygen combines with the carbon atoms left from the glucose molecule. Water is a product of the electron - transport chain where oxygen accepts electrons and combines with hydrogen ions. Carbon dioxide is produced during the breakdown of glucose in earlier stages like the Krebs cycle. Glucose is broken down, not created, during cellular respiration.

Answer:

Oxygen is combined with the carbon atoms left from the glucose molecule.
