because it produces energy
because it produces energy

because it produces glucose

Answer 1

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (in the form of ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. It is considered an exothermic reaction because it releases energy during the conversion of glucose into ATP. Therefore, the correct response is:

because it produces energy.
