Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2
B
C6H12O6 + 6CO2
C
6 CO2 + 6H2O
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.

Detailed explanation-2: -The equation for cellular respiration is the complete opposite of photosynthesis: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP where carbon dioxide is the waste product.

Detailed explanation-3: -C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2–> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP is the complete balanced chemical formula for cellular respiration.
