Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Respiration’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + energy (Glucose + Oxygen yields Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy) You may notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the opposite of the equation for photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
