Answer:

Deoxyribose

Explanation:

DNA stands for "deoxyribonucleic acid" because it has the sugar deoxyribose. It's named because it has one fewer oxygen than ribose. Be careful not to confuse the two sugars--ribose is in RNA, which stands for "ribonucleic acid."

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) produces water.

Aerobic respiration is a type of respiration in which oxygen is used as the final acceptor of the electrons in an electron transport chain.

It usually takes place in mitochondria of a cell except for glycolysis part which takes place in the cytoplasm.

In this respiration, carbon in glucose is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide whereas oxygen is reduced to form water.

H₂ + 1/2 O₂ →H₂O

In contrast, anaerobic respiration usually occurs in the cytoplasm and results in the formation of lactic acid or ethanol and ATP.
