Question

question 1 - 13
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 reactants?
glycolysis
fermentation
photosynthesis
cellular respiration

Explanation:

The given reaction is cellular respiration where glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$) react to produce carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$). Photosynthesis uses carbon - dioxide and water as reactants to produce glucose and oxygen. Glycolysis breaks down glucose. Fermentation is an anaerobic process and doesn't use these products as reactants. Cellular respiration is the process that produced these products in the first place, not one that uses them as reactants. Photosynthesis is the process that uses carbon - dioxide and water as reactants.

Answer:

C. photosynthesis
