Answer:

Explanation:

In cells, energy is obtained from food through the process of cellular respiration. In mitochondria, this occurs through aerobic respiration- here, cells breakdown sugars like glucose into carbon dioxide and water and energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

In cellular aerobic respiration:

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

Define b and c cells and how they kill viruses!<br> I need a super simple answer

poizon [28]

Answer: B-cells fight bacteria and viruses by making y-shaped proteins called antibodies, which are specific to each pathogen and are able to lock onto the surface of an invading cell and mark it for destruction by other immune cells. C-cells are a virus-bound antibody that binds to receptors, on the surface of phagocytic cells and triggers a mechanism known as phagocytosis, by which the cell engulfs and destroys the virus.

Explanation: sorry this answer was not simple at all -_-
