Answer is option "c"
Explanation:
- Respiration is the metabolic process of most living things in which food molecules or glucose are turned into usable energy for the cell, called ATP. Respiration is the anti-process to photosynthesis, the process in which plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to build food molecules releasing oxygen as a waste product.
- During aerobic respiration, oxygen is present and helps the process to crank out energy very efficiently. Some organisms can also undergo anaerobic respiration, in which oxygen is absent, and a somewhat less efficient method of metabolism takes place. While photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant and algae cells, aerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm, or the gooey inner cell space and mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells.
- Aerobic respiration is the complete oxidation of sugars in presence of oxygen.
- The carbohydrates are broken down into CO₂ and H₂O and this releases energy. This energy is stored in the form of ATP and later used in the body.
- Hence, the right answer is option c " carbon dioxide, water and energy".
