During cellular respiration, plants use glucose and oxygen to release energy. What are the main by-products of this process?
Options
Option A
Oxygen and Glucose
Option B is correct
Carbon dioxide and Water
Option C
Sunlight and Chlorophyll
Option D
Starch and Water
Explanation
Cellular respiration involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy for various life activities. The by-products of this chemical reaction are carbon dioxide and water. This is essentially the reverse process of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose and oxygen.
