Question

what role does cellular respiration play in the water cycle? it removes h₂o from the atmosphere during glycolysis. it removes h₂o from the atmosphere during acetyl coa formation. it releases h₂o to the atmosphere during the citric acid cycle. it releases h₂o to the atmosphere during electron transport.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process. In the electron - transport chain of cellular respiration, oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor. Hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to form water, which is then released into the atmosphere as a by - product, contributing to the water cycle. Glycolysis and acetyl CoA formation do not involve removing water from the atmosphere, and the citric acid cycle does not release water to the atmosphere as a significant contribution to the water cycle in the context of this question.

Answer:

It releases H₂O to the atmosphere during electron transport.
