Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the correct chemical equation for CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
A
Glucose (Sugar) + Oxygen
B
ATP (Energy) + Oxygen
C
Glucose (Sugar) + Carbon Dioxide
D
Glucose (Sugar) + Water + Oxygen
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: -C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2–> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP is the complete balanced chemical formula for cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen
