The main reason that cellular aerobic respiration needs to occur step by step instead of a single, big reaction is_? (A) cells produce the enzymes needed for cellular respiration very slowly;
(B) too much energy would be released as heat, and destroy the cell;
(C) cells don't store enough oxygen to absorb all the energy in one release;
(D) cells don't have enough mitochondria to catalyze the larger, single reaction

Question

Accepted Answer

***B*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Energy Release and Heat Production⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Cellular aerobic respiration occurs in a series of steps to control the release of energy. If respiration occurred in one large reaction, too much energy would be released at once as heat, which could damage or destroy the cell.⚹◊What molecules are necessary for the step-by-step process of cellular aerobic respiration in mitochondria?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
