Which is the equation for Respiration?
A
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Heat
B
6CO2 + 12H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H20
C
C2H12O6 +6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + Heat
D
Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen + Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dissolved nutrients like glucose are slowly burnt (oxidized) with the help of oxygen and energy is released in the form of ATP. Waste materials like CO2 and water vapours are produced during this process. Cellular respiration can be summarized as follows: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (38ATP)

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).

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Respiration’.

Detailed explanation-4: -oxidation reaction is : C6H12O6 + 6O2-> 6CO2 + 6H2O. Yields 2755 kJ/mole of glucose. The reverse of this reaction – combing carbon dioxide and water to make sugar – is known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process responsible for storing all the energy we extract from fossil fuels, crops, and all of our food.
