Deductive reasoning

Explanation:

In deductive reasoning, conclusion is drawn from a general scenario. In this illustration, the general fact/rule is that glucose is used in cellular respiration to generate energy from animal cell. The deduced conclusion is that an animal cell will therefore use glucose to produce energy.

On the contrary, inductive reason involved making conclusions from observations which may not necessarily be established facts.
