Which is the correct equation for respiration?
|
|
O2 + C6H12O6
|
|
|
CO2 + H2O
|
|
|
O2 + C6H12O6
|
|
|
CO2 + H2O
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A simple general equation for photosynthesis follows: 6 6CO2 + 12 H2O + photons → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O (carbon dioxide + water + light energy). We know well that this is the way our environment is recycled through plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -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).
