What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
|
|
Glucose + Oxygen
|
|
|
Oxygen + Carbon dioxide + Energy
|
|
|
Carbon dioxide + Glucose
|
|
|
Water + Carbon dioxide + Energy
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The overall reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP). Glucose (C6H12O6 ) is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) is reduced to produce water (H2O).
Detailed explanation-2: -Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2
