Water releases protons. Twelve water molecules will release:
Correct answer: A. 24H+
- A. 24H+
- B. 12H+
- C. 48H+
- D. 6H+
Explanation
The answer is A) 24H+ Each water molecule releases two protons when it is split during the process of photolysis. Therefore, twelve water molecules will release 24 protons. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the correct number of protons released by twelve water molecules. Option B: 12H+ is the number of protons released by two water molecules. Option C: 48H+ is twice the number of protons released by twelve water molecules. Option D: 6H+ is half the number of protons released by twelve water molecules.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
