Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration is the aerobic catabolism of nutrients to carbon dioxide, water, and energy, and involves an electron transport system in which molecular oxygen is the final electron acceptor. The overall reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -The chemical equation for respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. Photosynthesis and respiration are chemical reactions that have chemical equations. The reactants are at the beginning of the reaction (left side of the arrow) and the products are the substances that are formed (right side of the arrow).

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6-> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose-> Lactic acid). The lactic acid then needs to be oxidised later to carbon dioxide and water afterwards to prevent it building up.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy (38 ATP) It takes place in humans and green plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -The word equation for respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide and Water The chemical equation is C6H1206 + O2 = CO2 + H20 Respiration is used by all living humans and animals, to make energy for movement, heat and to keep vital organs running, without it we’d be dead.
