Question

question 30
which of these equations describes aerobic cellular respiration?
energy + carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen + water
glucose --> lactic acid + energy
none of the answers are correct
glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

Explanation:

Aerobic cellular respiration is a process that requires oxygen. The general equation for aerobic cellular respiration is glucose reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

• The equation "energy + carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen + water" represents photosynthesis, not aerobic respiration.
• The equation "glucose --> lactic acid + energy" represents anaerobic respiration (lactic acid fermentation).
• The equation "glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy" is the correct equation for aerobic cellular respiration.

Answer:

glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
