Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct chemical equation for cellular respiration?
A
C12H6O6 + 6H20
B
C6H12O2+ 6O2-
C
C6H12O2+ 6O2-
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -oxidation reaction is : C6H12O6 + 6O2-> 6CO2 + 6H2O. Yields 2755 kJ/mole of glucose. The reverse of this reaction – combing carbon dioxide and water to make sugar – is known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process responsible for storing all the energy we extract from fossil fuels, crops, and all of our food.

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.
