Question

You want to use evidence to support a claim that ATP provides the energy for various cellular activities, and this only happens because of cellular respiration.

Responses

ATP is produced in large quantities during photosynthesis.
ATP is produced in large quantities during photosynthesis.

ATP is used to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water which then power cellular processes.
ATP is used to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water which then power cellular processes.

Cellular respiration releases oxygen, which is necessary to make ATP in the mitochondria.
Cellular respiration releases oxygen, which is necessary to make ATP in the mitochondria.

During cellular respiration, glucose if broken down and the energy released is used to form ATP.

Answer 1

The piece of evidence that best supports the claim that ATP provides the energy for various cellular activities and that this process occurs because of cellular respiration is:

"During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down and the energy released is used to form ATP."

This statement directly links the breakdown of glucose (which occurs during cellular respiration) to the production of ATP, highlighting its role in providing energy for cellular activities.
