Question

Organic compound found in most cells is

• A. Water
• B. Glucose
• C. Oxygen
• D. Sodium chloride

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Glucose

A monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate which is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Glucose is a monomer which is formed by six carbon atom. The molecular formula is C${}_6$H${}_{12}$O${}_6$. It is a monosaccharide which acts as an instant source of energy. It is the simplest form of sugar found in the cells. Glucose present in the blood is transported to the cell. Inside the cell, glucose is broken down by the aerobic respiration. Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate which is further metabolized by TCA cycle and electron transport chain to produce energy in form of ATP.

So, the correct answer is option B.
