Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which chemical symbol represents a product of aerobic respiration?
A
C6H1206
B
02
C
CO2
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose (C6H12O6 ) is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) is reduced to produce water (H2O).

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is the process in which an incomplete breakdown of glucose occurs in the absence of oxygen in the cells. In this process, carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol are generally produced as the end products.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Cellular respiration converts ingested nutrients in the form of glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen to energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). CO2 is produced as a byproduct of this reaction. The O2 needed for cellular respiration is obtained via inhalation.
