Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the equation for respiration?
A
carbon dioxide + water
B
food + energy
C
oxygen + glucose
D
Carbon dioxide + glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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). Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the balance chemical equation is: 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
