You want to build a model of aerobic cellular respiration. What should it show about the relationship between oxygen and energy production? (1 point)

O Oxygen is not necessary during cellular respiration, just during photosynthesis.

Oxygen is a waste product that is released during energy production.

O Oxygen combines with glucose to directly form ATP and water.

Oxygen is used to split glucose molecules, releasing energy.

Oxygen is used to split glucose molecules, releasing energy.

Briefly: In aerobic respiration oxygen accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, allowing glucose-derived electrons to flow and ATP to be produced. It’s required to extract energy from glucose, not produced as a waste product.
