Question

question 1 2 pts what is the general equation for aerobic cellular respiration? glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water (+atp) glucose + water --> alcohol glucose + water --> carbon dioxide + oxygen glucose --> atp + water

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Aerobic cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the presence of oxygen. Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate, which is the energy currency of the cell). The second option (glucose + water ---> alcohol) is related to anaerobic fermentation (alcoholic fermentation). The third option (glucose + water---> carbon dioxide + oxygen) is incorrect as it does not represent a valid biochemical reaction for cellular respiration. The fourth option (glucose --> ATP + water) is an oversimplification and does not include oxygen as a reactant which is essential for aerobic respiration.

Answer:

glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP)
