Cellular respiration is essentially what type of process?
Correct answer: C. Redox
- A. Oxidation
- B. Reduction
- C. Redox
- D. None of the above
Explanation
In biological systems oxidation-reduction is a chemical reaction that usually involves the removal of the hydrogen atom from one molecule and the gain of a hydrogen atom by another molecule. Cellular respiration is a series Of complex oxidation-reduction reactions by which living cells obtain energy through the breakdown of organic matter.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
