Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

O2 is required for the aerobic respiration to occur. Therefore, option b. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Option b. is given as “O2”. In case of cellular respiration (aerobic), a cell utilizes glucose and oxygen for the generation of ATP. The animals, plants and many microbes utilize aerobic respiration. Hence, oxygen is essential for the production of ATP.

Hence, option b. is correct.

Reasons for incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “Light”. Light supplies energy for the process of photosynthesis. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “CO2”. CO2 is released as a product in aerobic respiration. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “H2O”. H2O is released as a product in aerobic respiration. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

In aerobic cellular respiration, there is the utilization of oxygen and glucose for the formation of ATP, carbon dioxide and water.
