Question
which of the following are reactants of cellular respiration? (1 point)
carbon dioxide and glucose
glucose and oxygen
carbon dioxide and water
oxygen and water
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. The general equation for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{Energy}\). In a chemical equation, reactants are on the left - hand side. So, glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)) are the reactants.
