The simple nature of the final products also indicates the efficiency of this method of respiration. All of the energy stored in the carbon-carbon bonds of glucose is released, leaving CO 2 and H 2 O. Although there is energy stored in the bonds of these molecules, this energy is not easily accessible by the cell.

Significantly, all three of these pollutants can pose health risks, even at low levels of exposure, especially among ...
