Question

cellular respiration is a series of biochemical reactions that
make glucose from carbon dioxide and water
uses glucose to make atp
uses glucose to make oxygen
makes atp from sunlight
which of the following are the reactants of cellular respiration? (check all that apply)
co₂
c₆h₁₂o₆
h₂o
atp
o₂

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose (\(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\)) in the presence of oxygen (\(O_{2}\)) to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)), and water (\(H_{2}O\)). The chemical equation for cellular respiration is \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}
ightarrow6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O+\text{ATP}\). In this equation, \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\) (glucose) and \(O_{2}\) (oxygen) are the reactants. Making glucose from carbon dioxide and water is photosynthesis. Using glucose to make oxygen is not a valid process. Making ATP from sunlight is also related to photosynthesis (where light - energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP during the light - dependent reactions, but cellular respiration is a different process).

Answer:

For the first part: "uses glucose to make ATP" is correct.
For the second part: \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\) and \(O_{2}\) are the reactants of cellular respiration.
