Question

3.
The process represented by the following equation,
(glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy)
is photosynthesis
is transpiration
is fermentation
is aerobic respiration​

Answer 1

The process that is represented in the given equation in the question is option 4th: Aerobic respiration.

• The equation represents correctly the process of aerobic respiration.
• This can be identified because of the two reasons:

1. Oxygen is a part of the reactant side of this process.
2. Oxygen is converting the glucose molecules or the sugar molecules from the food we eat into the energy form which enables us to do work.

• This process is taking place in the power generating house called mitochondrial cell organelles at the cellular level inside the cells.
• This energy is formed in the form of an ATP molecule that is used in the energy production process by the muscular cells of the body.
• During this process, other by-products are also formed which is water and along with it, carbon dioxide gas is also released which is then exhaled out.

• Hence, the correct answer is aerobic respiration.
