Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen-> carbon dioxide + water). Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -While animal cells produce lactic acid when they carry out anaerobic respiration, yeast cells produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. Therefore, the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is glucose ⟶ ethanol + carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-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.
