The diagram is incorrect because the arrow for oxygen should point in the opposite direction. In cellular respiration, oxygen is taken into the cell to be used in the process, so the arrow labeled "Oxygen" should point towards the cell, which is correct. However, glucose is the primary molecule that enters the cell for cellular respiration, so the arrow for glucose should also point towards the cell, not away. Hence, the correct answer is about the positioning of the glucose arrow.
A student made the following diagram to represent cellular respiration.
The title of the diagram is Cellular Respiration. An oval labeled Cell has five arrows around it. The arrow labeled Oxygen points towards the cell. The other four arrows labeled Glucose, Carbon dioxide, Water, and Energy point away from the cell.
Why is this diagram incorrect?
Water is not formed during this process.
Carbon dioxide is not formed during this process.
The arrow for oxygen should point in the opposite direction.
The arrow for glucose should point in the opposite direction.
