Question

1. cellular respiration is the name given to a series of biochemical reactions that: a) makes glucose from carbon dioxide and water b) uses glucose to make atp c) uses glucose to make oxygen d) uses atp to make oxygen 2) which of the following equations accurately represents cellular respiration? * 1 point a) c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ → 6co₂ + 6h₂o + energy b) 6co₂ + 6h₂o → c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ + energy

Explanation:

1. Cellular respiration is a process that breaks down glucose to produce ATP, the energy - currency of the cell. It does not make glucose (that's photosynthesis), nor does it use glucose to make oxygen or use ATP to make oxygen.
2. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is $\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+energy}$, which represents the oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release carbon - dioxide, water, and energy. The second equation represents photosynthesis.

Answer:

1. B. uses glucose to make ATP
2. A. $\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+energy}$
