The starting materials of cellular respiration are energy, carbon dioxide, and water?

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process that creates energy. The equation is:

The reactants, or starting materials are: glucose and oxygen.

The products, or ending materials/results are: carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

Therefore, the statement in the question is false. Energy, carbon dioxide, and water are the ending materials, not the starting ones.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
