Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen-> carbon dioxide + water).
Detailed explanation-2: -Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
Detailed explanation-3: -The overall reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP). Glucose (C6H12O6 ) is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) is reduced to produce water (H2O).
Detailed explanation-4: -The equation represent the process of aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-5: -The complete combustion of glucose will give carbon dioxide and water, therefore, the balanced chemical equation can be written as: C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)→6CO2(g)+6H2O(g)
