Question

a the process by which cells divide and replicate
b the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy
c the process by which cells synthesize proteins
d the process by which cells produce glucose

Answer 1

The correct answer is b: the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy.

Cellular respiration involves a series of metabolic processes that convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and it typically involves the consumption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide.
