which of the following statements about the reactants in cellular respiration is true?
a. living things do not utilize oxygen during respiration reactions
b. all living things utilize oxygen during respiration reactions
c. oxygen is used directly during aerobic reactions
d. oxygen is used during anaerobic respiration reactions

The correct answer is C oxygen is directly used during aerobic respiration reactions .

Explanation:

Cellular respiration deals with the breakdown of sugar molecule basically glucose in presence of oxygen(in case of aerobic respiration) or in absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration) to generate breakdown products such as ATP.

       During aerobic respiration reactions oxygen is directly used.The oxygen reacts with glucose in 3 important step a glycolysis b TCA cycle and c oxidative phosphorylation  to generate CO2,H2O and ATP molecules.

lysosomes contain a variety of enzymes, enabling the cell to break down various biomolecules it engulfs, including peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids (lysosomal lipase). the enzymes responsible for this hydrolysis require an acidic environment for optimal activity. hope i !
