Question

cellular respiration practice
directions: answer the following questions about cellular respiration.

1. what is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the reactants and products

Cellular respiration uses glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$) to produce carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), water ($H_2O$), and energy.

Step2: Write the balanced chemical equation

$$C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{Energy}$$

Answer:

$$C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{Energy}$$
