Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
B7.2 What is missing from this word equation for respiration:oxygen + ____
A
water
B
nitrogen dioxide
C
glucose
D
oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(glucose) + (oxygen) (carbon dioxide) + (water) + (energy/heat)

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The overall reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP). Glucose (C6H12O6 ) is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) is reduced to produce water (H2O).

Detailed explanation-4: -The balanced version is: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.) In simple terms: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen.
