Question

cfu: whats the correct equation for cellular respiration?
a. carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
b. glucose + water → carbon dioxide + oxygen + atp
c. glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + atp

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose reacts with oxygen. The reactants are glucose and oxygen. The products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy). Option A is the equation for photosynthesis. Option B has incorrect reactants (water is not a reactant in cellular respiration). Option C correctly represents cellular respiration with glucose and oxygen as reactants and carbon dioxide, water, and ATP as products.

Answer:

C. glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + ATP
