CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants found in Cellular Respiration?
A
Oxygen (O2) and Carbon dioxide (CO2)
B
Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6H12O6)
C
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O) and Energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During cellular respiration, the reactants-glucose (sugar) and oxygen-combine together to form new products: carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced as the form of energy that can be used for other cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Reactants Oxygen and glucose are both reactants of cellular respiration. Oxygen enters the body when an organism breathes. Glucose enters the body when an organism eats.

Detailed explanation-4: -The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, with the chemical formula C6H12O6. Glucose represents the primary reactant used during cellular respiration, in which ATP is produced.
