Answer: The correct answer is option b
Explanation:
It is the reaction of cellular respiration in which glucose is oxidized to produce energy (ATP). Carbon dioxide and water are produced as byproducts.
It is the reaction which produces energy for all other cellular functions. One molecule of glucose yields around 36-38 ATP molecules.
Rest other reactions such formation of ATP (ADP + P = ATP) gets energy from chemiosmosis produced by cellular respiration. Formation of sugars from carbon dioxide and water (option c) gets energy from solar energy (photolysis). Formation of proteins (amino acids to proteins) or translation is also an energy-driven process. It gets energy from hydrolysis of ATP.
Thus, the correct answer is option b.
