Question

glucose molecule

Glucose can be found in foods like honey. What happens to glucose in the body?
A.
It goes through a physical change in the cell's nucleus to produce oxygen.
B.
It goes through chemical reactions with oxygen, which forms new molecules and provides energy for cells.
C.
It uses carbon dioxide in the cell's nucleus to produce a larger sugar molecule.
D.
It goes through chemical reactions with carbon dioxide, which provides oxygen and energy for cells.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B. It goes through chemical reactions with oxygen, which forms new molecules and provides energy for cells.

In the body, glucose undergoes a process called cellular respiration, where it reacts with oxygen to produce energy (in the form of ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
