Question

GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) in the body is metabolised by oxygen to break down into carbon di oxide

and water and energy.

Do you think it is a kind of decomposition reaction? Explain with reason and write balanced

chemical equations.

Answer 1

Answer:

C6H12O6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions which begin with the reactants of sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
