Question
during cellular respiration, the covalent bonds of a molecule are broken down to make products. which molecule is broken down? (1 point) adp carbon dioxide water sugar
Cellular respiration is a metabolic process where the covalent bonds of a high-energy molecule are broken to release energy for the cell. ADP is a low-energy molecule that is converted to ATP, not broken down for energy. Carbon dioxide and water are waste products of cellular respiration, not the starting molecule being broken down. Sugar (glucose) is the primary molecule that undergoes breakdown in cellular respiration, with its covalent bonds split to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
