During cellular respiration, what is released into the environment?

  1. ATP

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Glucose

  4. Oxygen

The correct answer is: Carbon dioxide

During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are combined in the cells to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process also produces waste products such as carbon dioxide, which is then released into the environment. It is an essential part of the carbon cycle and helps to maintain a balance of gases in the atmosphere. While ATP is a product of cellular respiration, it is not released into the environment as it is used as energy by the cell. Glucose and oxygen are also involved in the process, but they are not released into the environment as waste products. Therefore, the correct answer is B Carbon dioxide.
