Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct word equation for aerobic respiration is
A
carbon dioxide + water + ATP
B
water + oxygen
C
glucose + oxygen
D
glucose + water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration is the aerobic catabolism of nutrients to carbon dioxide, water, and energy, and involves an electron transport system in which molecular oxygen is the final electron acceptor. The overall reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -glucose + oxygen ⟶ carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The word equation for aerobic respiration is: glucose + oxygen–> water + carbon dioxide + energy (in the form of ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6-> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose-> Lactic acid). The lactic acid then needs to be oxidised later to carbon dioxide and water afterwards to prevent it building up.

Detailed explanation-5: -The overall reaction for glycolysis is: glucose (6C) + 2 NAD+ 2 ADP +2 inorganic phosphates (Pi) yields 2 pyruvate (3C) + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 net ATP.
