Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of aerobic cellular respiration: It is a metabolic process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
Identify the key reactants in the equation for aerobic cellular respiration: The general equation is C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP.
Recognize the role of oxygen: Oxygen (O₂) is a crucial reactant that is required to accept electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, allowing the process to continue and produce ATP efficiently.
Compare the options given: Nitrogen, Methane, Carbon dioxide, and Oxygen. Determine which of these is involved in the process of aerobic cellular respiration.
Conclude that Oxygen is the required element for aerobic cellular respiration, as it is essential for the electron transport chain and ATP production.
