The correct answer is option (D) A sandwich is digested and converted to carbon dioxide and water.
Digestion is a catabolic process of breakdown of complex food substances into simpler nutrients releasing energy. In the process of digestion of a sandwich, the carbohydrates are broken down into simpler sugars in presence of enzymes releasing water, carbon dioxide and energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This ATP is the reserved energy currency and also used for the growth, repair and replacement of cells.
Answer:
The energy released is captured in the form of ATP (3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH 2 ). The electron transport chain (ETC) consists of a series of molecules, mostly proteins, embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The glucose required for cellular respiration is produced by plants.
Since both aerobic and anaerobic processes can result in the production of CO2, we couldn't be certain that cellular respiration was occurring.
Carbon dioxide:
Carbon dioxide is released during cellular respiration as a waste product. Cells that are capable of photosynthesis can utilize this carbon dioxide to create new carbohydrates. Additionally, oxygen gas is necessary to act as an electron acceptor during the process of cellular respiration.
There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic (occurring when oxygen is present) and anaerobic (in absence of oxygen).
Now, carbon dioxide is emitted as a byproduct in both types of respiration.
Therefore, determining the rate of aerobic cellular respiration by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide emitted is impossible.
Therefore, to obtain the precise rate, we monitor oxygen rather than carbon dioxide.
Therefore, the correct response is that CO2 is created during both aerobic and anaerobic processes; we were unable to confirm if cellular respiration was occurring.
