There is a relationship between breathing and cellular respiration. Breathing

involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. How is oxygen related

to the process of cellular respiration?

A Cellular respiration uses ATP to release the energy stored in oxygen.

B Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release the energy stored in food.

C

D

Cellular respiration uses oxygen to produce food in the form of sugars.

Cellular respiration uses carbon to produce energy in the form of oxygen.

B) Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release the energy stored in food.

Explanation:

In breathing living organisms take oxygen and release the carbon dioxide it is similar to the aerobic respiration.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
