Question

Cellular respiration is

A:) a spontaneous reaction that assembles smaller molecules into bigger molecules.
B:) a spontaneous reaction that breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules.
C:) a nonspontaneous reaction that assembles smaller molecules into bigger molecules.
D:) a nonspontaneous reaction that breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules.

Answer 1

Its either A or B, but i think it is B

Answer 2

Answer: B:) a spontaneous reaction that breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is a spontaneous reaction this is because of the fact that it does not require energy to do carry out the process, instead it produces energy in the form of ATP. In the process of cellular respiration the oxygen is inhaled and combined with the food stuff. This causes oxidation of foodstuff (large molecules) so that it get broken into simple digestible substances in the form of small molecules, along with the release of waste products like carbon dioxide and excess water.
