RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:This is the cellular respiration equation:C6H12O6 + O2
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In respiration, one glucose molecule is oxidized in the presence of six oxygen molecules to form six carbon dioxide and water molecules. The reaction for respiration can be denoted by the equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is a 6-carbon structure with the chemical formula C6H12O6. It is a ubiquitous source of energy for every organism in the world and is essential to fuel both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reaction C 6 H 12 O 6 ( aq ) + 6 O 2 ( g ) → 6 CO 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( l ) + ∆ Glucose Oxygen carbon water heat dioxide is exothermic.

Detailed explanation-4: -A simple general equation for photosynthesis follows: 6 6CO2 + 12 H2O + photons → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O (carbon dioxide + water + light energy). We know well that this is the way our environment is recycled through plants.
