Question

which statement describes the reaction for cellular respiration?
the equation is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water and energy is required in the form of light
the equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is required in the form of light
the equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is produced in the form of atp
the equation is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water and energy is produced in the form of atp.
the equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is required in the form of light.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose and oxygen react. The products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy - carrying molecule. Photosynthesis has the equation carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water and requires light energy. Cellular respiration does not require light energy.

Answer:

The equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP.
