A student made the following diagram to represent cellular respiration.

The title of the diagram is Cellular Respiration. An oval labeled Cell has five arrows around it. The arrow labeled Oxygen points towards the cell. The other four arrows labeled Glucose, Carbon dioxide, Water, and Energy point away from the cell.

Why is this diagram incorrect?

Water is not formed during this process.
Carbon dioxide is not formed during this process.
The arrow for oxygen should point in the opposite direction.
The arrow for glucose should point in the opposite direction.

Hi there! So this is for your Science finals I see. I take the previous answer back as I just realized that's incorrect. During cellular respiration, carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed when oxygen combines with the carbon atoms from glucose. It is an ending compound.

Water does end up getting formed, since glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. ... Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

^ that is correct, but we're looking for why the diagram is INCORRECT.

Carbon Dioxide is formed during the process and it is a waste byproduct.

Oxygen is pointing TO the cell. This is also correct! Cellular Respiration is practically the opposite of Photosynthesis. It takes in oxygen, and releases CO2. Photosynthesis takes in CO2 and releases oxygen.

Glucose is a starting compound, and it points away from the cell. This is actually, incorrect. As glucose breaks down it creates energy. So, this is your answer.

If you read it this far, congrats. Your answer is  D, The arrow for glucose should point in the opposite direction.

Glucose is stored to power the rest of the cell.

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
