The complete conversion of glucose, in the presence of oxygen, into carbon dioxide and water with release of energy is called:

aAerobic respiration
bAnaerobic respiration
cGlycolysis
dHydrolysis
✓ Correct answer: a) Aerobic respiration
ExplanationAerobic respiration is the process by which glucose is completely oxidized in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy (in the form of ATP).The overall reaction is: C6​H12​O6​+ 6O2​ → 6CO2​+ 6H2​O+ Energy (ATP) 497
