Question

the chemical reaction below represents a metabolic process.

c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂→ 6co₂ + 6h₂o

which of the following metabolic processes uses the products of the reaction shown above as its

○ glycolysis

○ fermentation

○ photosynthesis

○ cellular respiration

Explanation:

The given reaction \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\to6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\) is the equation for cellular respiration. Photosynthesis has the equation \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\to C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\), which uses \(CO_{2}\) and \(H_{2}O\) (products of cellular respiration) as reactants. Glycolysis is a part of cellular respiration (anaerobic phase) and has a different set - up. Fermentation is an anaerobic process that does not use \(CO_{2}\) and \(H_{2}O\) in the way photosynthesis does.

Answer:

photosynthesis
