Question

this passage describes a chemical reaction. read the passage. then, answer the question below.
all organisms need energy to live. many organisms, such as humans and other mammals, obtain energy from food using a process called aerobic respiration. during aerobic respiration, a sugar called glucose (c₆h₁₂o₆) combines with oxygen (o₂), forming carbon dioxide (co₂) and water (h₂o). organisms use the energy released from this process to carry out the functions necessary for life.
in the chemical reaction described in the passage, which of the following are reactants? select all that apply.
water (h₂o) carbon dioxide (co₂)
oxygen (o₂) glucose (c₆h₁₂o₆)

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, reactants are the substances that undergo a change. The passage states that during aerobic respiration, glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) combines with oxygen (\(O_2\)). Water (\(H_2O\)) and carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) are the products formed in this reaction.

Answer:

Oxygen (\(O_2\)), Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\))
