Solution
The correct option is B Cellular Respiration Dissolved nutrients like glucose are slowly burnt (oxidized) with the help of oxygen and energy is released in the form of ATP. Waste materials like CO2 and water vapours are produced during this process. Cellular respiration can be summarized as follows:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (38ATP)
