The correct answer is "aerobic respiration."
Aerobic respiration is the process by which glucose is broken down in organisms to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary source of energy for cells. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and involves several biochemical reactions. Glucose molecules are oxidized and broken down in a series of steps, producing ATP, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts.
The correct answer is aerobic respiration. This is the process by which glucose is broken down in organisms to produce ATP, which is the primary energy source for cells. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options by understanding their definitions:
1. Chemosynthesis is a process by which organisms, mostly bacteria, obtain energy through the oxidation of inorganic compounds. It does not involve the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP.
2. Protein synthesis is the process by which cells build new proteins using the instructions provided by DNA. It is not directly related to the breakdown of glucose or ATP production.
3. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. While photosynthesis produces glucose, it is the opposite process of what was asked, as it builds glucose instead of breaking it down.
Hence, the correct answer is aerobic respiration. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and involves the breakdown of glucose to generate ATP, along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
