Answer 1

e) hydrolysis reaction

Answer 2

are you sure?

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is a) combustion reaction. Combustion reactions involve the reaction of a substance with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates (such as glucose) react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a molecule that stores and releases energy.
