Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?
A
6O2 + C6H12O6
B
6O2 + C6H12O6 + Energy
C
6CO2 + 6H2O
D
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⟶ 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain disc-shaped structures called thylakoids, which contain the pigment chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The equation represent the process of aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + energy (Glucose + Oxygen yields Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy) You may notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the opposite of the equation for photosynthesis.
