Select the two substances that are reactants in the chemical process that releases 36 to 38 ATP in cells.
a
carbon dioxide
b
oxygen
c
potassium
d
glucose
e
sodium
f
water
d) glucose
b) oxygen
To determine the reactants in the chemical process that releases 36 to 38 ATP in cells, we need to know the process itself. In this case, the chemical process being referred to is cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in cells to break down glucose and produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The reactants in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.
So, the correct answers are:
d) glucose
b) oxygen
The reactants in the chemical process that releases 36 to 38 ATP in cells are:
d) glucose
b) oxygen
