The end products of glucose breakdown in the presence of oxygen are:
A)water,carbon dioxide and citric acid.
B)ATP,water and lactic acid.
C)water,ATP and carbon dioxide.
D)electrons,ATP and ketones.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs through cellular respiration which involves three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The end products of these stages are water, ATP, and carbon dioxide. Therefore, the best choice is C, which includes all of these end products. Choices A and B are incorrect because they either leave out an end product or include an incorrect product (citric acid instead of ATP, and lactic acid instead of carbon dioxide, respectively). Choice D is incorrect because it includes ketones, which are not an end product of glucose breakdown in the presence of oxygen.
