What are the products of respiration in plants?
Correct answer: B. CO2, H2O and ATP
- A. CO2 and H2O
- B. CO2, H2O and ATP
- C. C6H12O6 and H2O
- D. None
Explanation
Respiration in plants involves the oxidation of glucose to produce energy, with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as byproducts. The primary purpose is to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, which is used for various cellular processes. Option B is correct because it includes ATP, which is crucial for energy transfer within cells. Option A is incorrect because it omits ATP, a key product of respiration. Option C incorrectly lists glucose as a product instead of a reactant. Option D is incorrect as it states that there are no products, whereas respiration clearly produces CO2, H2O, and ATP.

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.
