Full question:

Which of these is unlikely to happen during the process of sugar breakdown in a cell? A) The products formed are carbon dioxide, water, and energy. B) Energy is released and is used for cell's life functions. C) Carbon dioxide formed is used by the cell for various activities. D) The starting materials in the process are glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Carbon dioxide formed is used by the cell for various activities.

Explanation:

The human cells are responsible in making ATP by the process of breaking glucose and the energy is converted into ATP. this process is called as cellular respiration. The main components that are essential for the cellular respiration to take place are oxygen and glucose.

When these components are broken down during the cellular respiration, carbon dioxide, water and energy are produced. This energy is converted into ATP and it is used by all the cells for its function. Thus cells are very important unit in a human body. Carbon dioxide is only a by product during cellular respiration and it is not used by the cells for any activities.
