Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
A
6CO2 and C6H12O6
B
6O2 and 6H2O
C
6CO2 and 6H2O
D
6O2 and C6H12O6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: This is an oxidation or combustion reaction, or more specifically, the aerobic respiration equation. Here, the hydrocarbon glucose C6H12O6 C 6 H 12 O 6 is oxidized to give carbon dioxide, water, and energy which are the products of aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2.
