Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the formula C6H12O6 +O2
A
Glucose is oxidized and Oxygen is reduced
B
Glucose is reduced and Oxygen is oxidized
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The carbon in C6H12O6 has oxidation number of 0. In CO2, +4. So, the carbon is oxidizing. This IS a redox equation.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the photosynthesis reaction, CO2 + H2O are on the left side of the arrow and are the reactants. Reactants undergo changes (demonstrated by the arrow) to become newly formed products, C6H12O6 + O2 (on the right side of the arrow).

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Respiration’.
