Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the equation for Aerobic Respiration?
A
Energy = CO2 + Water + O2
B
Glucose «< O2 + Water + Energy
C
Glucose + O2 »> Energy + CO2 + Water
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration is the aerobic catabolism of nutrients to carbon dioxide, water, and energy, and involves an electron transport system in which molecular oxygen is the final electron acceptor. The overall reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -The chemical reaction between water and carbon dioxide is : CO 2 ( g ) carbon dioxide + H 2 O ( l ) water ⇔ H 2 CO 3 ( aq ) carbonic acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts.
