Question

what is the formula for cellular respiration? 6co2+6h2o+light energy-->c6h12o6+6o2 c6h12o6+6o2-->6co2+6h2o+light energy c6h12o6+6o2-->6co2+6h2o+atp 6co2+6h2o+atp-->c6h12o6+6o2

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process. In this process, glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) reacts with oxygen (\(O_2\)). The products are carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the energy - currency of the cell. The first option represents photosynthesis (conversion of \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) into glucose using light energy). The second option has light energy as a product which is incorrect for cellular respiration. The fourth option has the reactants and products reversed compared to what is expected in cellular respiration.

Answer:

C. \(C6H12O6 + 6O2 \to 6CO2+6H2O + ATP\)
