Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the correct chemical equation for Cellular Respiration?
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2
B
C6H12O6 + H2O
C
6CO2 + 6 H2O + Light Energy
D
C6H12O6 + 6CO2
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: -Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions which begin with the reactants of sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Detailed explanation-4: -I. Where does that energy come from? The short answer: photons of sunlight.
