The energy stored in food is released during _____.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C respiration
∙ Digestion breaks down the complex carbohydrates in the food into simple glucose units. The glucose molecules are further broken down to release energy in respiration.
∙ During cellular respiration, glucose is further broken down into carbon dioxide and water with the help of oxygen and energy is released in the form of ATP.
It can be summarized as: C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+38 ATP
∙ Circulatory system performs the function of transport of various substances like water, hormones, oxygen, etc. Excretion refers to the elimination of waste products from the body.
