The correct response regarding the relationship between oxygen and energy production in aerobic cellular respiration is:
Oxygen is used to split glucose molecules, releasing energy.
In aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy). Oxygen plays a crucial role in the electron transport chain, where it serves as the final electron acceptor, allowing for the efficient production of ATP.
