Which of the following statements is true about the role of water in cellular respiration?
A. It reacts with glucose.
B. It reacts with oxygen.
C. It is one of the beginning compounds.
D. It is one of the ending compounds.
Answer (2)
Water is one of the ending compounds in cellular respiration, particularly produced in the oxidative phosphorylation stage. It is not a starting compound and does not directly react with glucose or oxygen in meaningful ways for this process. Thus, the statement about water being an ending compound is correct. ;
The correct answer is that water is one of the ending compounds in cellular respiration, specifically produced during oxidative phosphorylation. It does not react with glucose or oxygen in significant ways for this process and is not a starting compound. Water is formed as a byproduct when oxygen combines with protons and electrons at the end of cellular respiration.
