What process is shown in the chemical equation below:C6H12O6 + 6O2
A
Photosynthesis
B
Circulation
C
Pulse
D
Cellular Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Respiration’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: This is an oxidation or combustion reaction, or more specifically, the aerobic respiration equation. Here, the hydrocarbon glucose C6H12O6 C 6 H 12 O 6 is oxidized to give carbon dioxide, water, and energy which are the products of aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is called ‘splitting water. ‘ The hydrogen atoms are then split into their component protons and electrons. The electrons are used to reduce carbon dioxide, in a series of many steps requiring more absorption of sunlight by chlorophyll, to glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration takes place in the Mitochondria and requires Oxygen and Glucose, and produces Carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (Glucose + Oxygen-> Carbon dioxide + water + ATP).
