Question

During cellular respiration, four total ATP are produced when pyruvic acid is created. What else is produced as a result of this reaction?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0Aheat%0D%0Aheat%0D%0A%0D%0Aoxygen%0D%0Aoxygen%0D%0A%0D%0Awater%0D%0Awater%0D%0A%0D%0Asugar

Answer 1

During cellular respiration, when glucose is broken down through glycolysis to produce pyruvic acid, a net total of 2 ATP (not 4, as 2 ATP are used and 4 are produced) are produced along with 2 NADH molecules. Additionally, in aerobic conditions, further processes lead to the production of water and carbon dioxide.

From the options provided, the most relevant product would be **water**.

So, the correct answer is **water**.
