Of the following which one is not an energy releasing process?
Correct answer: C. Photosynthesis
- A. Glycolysis
- B. Respiration
- C. Photosynthesis
- D. Kreb's cycle
Explanation
Photosynthesis is an energy-storing process because light energy is converted into chemical energy in glucose, whereas glycolysis, respiration, and the Krebs cycle release usable energy from organic molecules. Students may choose glycolysis because it is only the first stage of respiration, but it still produces ATP and reduced electron carriers.

About Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. The pathway differs in oxygen availability: aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields more ATP, while anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP and forms lactic acid in muscles or ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast.
