• A. Dephosphorylation and dehydrogenation
• B. Phosphorylation and oxidation
• C. Carboxylation and hydration
• D. Decarboxylation and hydrogenation

Answer 1

The correct option is B Phosphorylation and oxidation

Cellular respiration

Cellular respiration is the process of obtaining chemical energy from the breakdown of organic molecules that we consume through food.

The C-C bonds in the complex molecules undergo oxidation that breaks the bond between them and releases lots of energy which the cell traps in the form of ATPs (phosphorylation).

Final answer: (B) Phosphorylation and oxidation
