Question

question #6
identify the cell process shown below based on the information given.
? + 6o₂ → 6co₂ +?
a photosynthesis
b cell division
c cellular respiration
d fermentation

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) reacts with oxygen (\(O_2\)) to produce carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)). The general equation for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O\). Photosynthesis has the equation \(6CO_2+6H_2O
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\) (opposite of the given reaction). Cell division is about a cell splitting into daughter cells. Fermentation occurs without oxygen (anaerobic), while the given reaction has oxygen as a reactant.

Answer:

C. cellular respiration
