Which of the following processes does not take place during cellular respiration? simple sugar breaks down. carbon dioxide is released. hydrogen of water is separated from oxygen. chemical energy stored in food is utilized by the cell.

C) Hydrogen of water is separated from oxygen. DOES NOT OCCUR!

The correct answer is option C which is hydrogen of water is separated from oxygen.

Explanation:Cellular respiration is the process of converting complex compounds like carbohydrates into simpler one like CO2 and water in the presence or absence of oxygen producing energy.So water is produced by the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.And chemical energy stored in food is also used by the cell to produce ATP.Hence third statement is not related to respiration.

Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. this explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. these prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast
