GPT-5 mini · Answer

b. enzymes make the reaction take place in small steps.

Explanation: cellular respiration oxidizes glucose in many enzyme-catalyzed steps (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain), which lets the cell capture energy gradually in ATP and reduced carriers (NADH/FADH2). Not all energy becomes ATP (some is lost as heat), oxygen is required for aerobic respiration as the final electron acceptor, and water does not by itself prevent uncontrolled combustion.
