Question

in cellular respiration, which of the following are reactants? select all that apply.
a) c6h12o6
b) energy
c) h2o
d) co2
e) o2

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process. The general equation for aerobic cellular respiration is \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}
ightarrow6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O + energy\). Reactants are the substances that start a chemical reaction. In this equation, \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\) (glucose) and \(O_{2}\) (oxygen) are the reactants. Energy (\(B\)), \(CO_{2}\) (\(D\)) and \(H_{2}O\) (\(C\)) are products of the reaction.

Answer:

A. \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\), E. \(O_{2}\)
