Question

scientists sometimes want to show whether more energy is used or released during a chemical process. they do this by adding the word energy to the chemical equation. if more energy is used than is released during a chemical process, \energy\ should appear on the same side of the equation as the reactants. if more energy is released than is used, \energy\ should appear on the same side of the equation as the products. which of the following balanced chemical equations accurately summarizes cellular respiration? cho + 6o + energy → 6co + 6ho cho + 6o → 6co + 6ho + energy

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)) react to produce carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and energy. Since more energy is released than used in cellular respiration, "energy" should be on the product side.

Answer:

\(C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{energy}\)
