Question

which of the following is not a product of cellular respiration?
carbon dioxide
atp
oxygen
water
why is oxygen important/required for cellular respiration?
your answer
in your own words, explain what the equation for cellular respiration shows.
your answer
what type of respiration is cellular respiration considered, and why?
your answer

Explanation:

1. For the multiple - choice question "Which of the following is NOT a product of cellular respiration?", carbon dioxide, ATP, and water are products of cellular respiration, while oxygen is a reactant.
2. Oxygen is important for cellular respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron - transport chain, allowing for the production of a large amount of ATP.
3. The equation for cellular respiration (C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂+ 6H₂O + energy) shows that glucose and oxygen are used to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.
4. Cellular respiration is considered aerobic respiration because it requires oxygen to produce energy efficiently. In the absence of oxygen, cells may switch to anaerobic respiration which produces less ATP.

Answer:

1. C. Oxygen
2. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron - transport chain to produce a large amount of ATP.
3. It shows that glucose and oxygen are used to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).
4. It is considered aerobic respiration because it requires oxygen to produce energy efficiently.
