Answer 1

Do you know what Cellular respiration is?

Answer 2

no i do not.

Answer 3

Ah I see, well you can easily look it up. But in summary, it is the process that takes sugars and oxygen and converts them into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As heterotrophs, we humans undergo this process to make energy; we breathe in oxygen and food is our source of sugar. This process is generally split up into four main steps: Glycolysis, Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, Citric Acid Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation. From the small summary I have given you what do you think it the answer to your question?

Answer 4

is it c?

Answer 5

well carbon dioxide is regarded usually as a waste product of respiration which is why we breathe it out. There are some important uses of it, it's mainly not used. Reread the question and rather than looking at the answer choices, can you think of what the student has said that is inconsistent with the summary that I have given to you about respiration.

Answer 6

*but it's mainly not used.

Answer 7

b?

Answer 8

yes that's right! The problem with the student's assertion is mainly the fact that respiration doesn't consume CO2 but rather produces it.

Answer 9

yay i got it right! i hate when i get stuff wrong.

Answer 10
