Question

the reactants for a biochemical reaction are $\ce{c6h12o6 + 6o2}$. what will be the products for this reaction, and where does the reaction take place?
$\ce{6o2 + 6h2o + energy}$; chloroplast
$\ce{6co2 + 6h2o + energy}$; chloroplast
$\ce{6co2 + 6h2o + energy}$; mitochondria
$\ce{6o2 + 6h2o + energy}$; mitochondria

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria. The general equation for cellular respiration is \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\to6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O + energy\). Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis (\(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy\to C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\)).

Answer:

\(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O + energy;\ mitochondria\)
