Question

6co₂ + 6h₂o → c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂
which molecule(s) in the reaction above is/
are processed in the mitochondria?
o₂ only co₂ only c₆h₁₂o₆
and o₂

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria. In this process, glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) is broken down, and \(O_2\) is used as the final electron acceptor. \(CO_2\) is a waste product released from mitochondria, not processed there. So, \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) and \(O_2\) are involved in mitochondrial processes.

Answer:

\(C_6H_{12}O_6\) and \(O_2\)
