Question

One of the immediate products of mitochondrial respiration is
A)oxygen.
B)ATP.
C)carbohydrate.
D)carbon monoxide.

Accepted Answer

One of the immediate products of mitochondrial respiration is ATP. Mitochondria are sometimes called the powerhouses of the cell because they produce ATP, which is the main source of energy for cellular activities. Oxygen is consumed during respiration, not produced. Carbohydrates are used as a fuel source for respiration, but they are not a product of respiration. Carbon monoxide is not a product of respiration and is actually a dangerous toxin that can interfere with respiration.
