Question

1. in paragraph 5, you read about the equation for cellular respiration. what are the reactants and products in the cellular respiration equation?

Explanation:

The cellular respiration equation is \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2
ightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Energy (ATP)} \). Reactants are the substances that start the reaction, so glucose (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)) and oxygen (\( \text{O}_2 \)) are reactants. Products are the substances formed, so carbon dioxide (\( \text{CO}_2 \)), water (\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)), and energy (ATP) are products.

Answer:

Reactants: Glucose (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)) and Oxygen (\( \text{O}_2 \))
Products: Carbon Dioxide (\( \text{CO}_2 \)), Water (\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)), and Energy (ATP)
