Cellular Respiration — Quiz

Question 5 • Biology

What role does cellular respiration play in the water cycle?

Answer
A
It releases cap h sub 2 cap o to the atmosphere during electron transport.
B
It removes cap h sub 2 cap o from the atmosphere during acetyl CoA formation.
C
It removes cap h sub 2 cap o from the atmosphere during glycolysis.
D
It releases cap h sub 2 cap o to the atmosphere during the citric acid cycle.

Explanation

During cellular respiration, oxygen accepts electrons and hydrogen ions at the end of the electron transport chain, forming water (H₂O). This adds water to the environment and connects cellular respiration to the water cycle. The correct choice is “It releases H₂O to the atmosphere during electron transport.”
