Question

Identify X in the given equation of aerobic respiration Glucose + X ----> Carbondioxide+ Water + Energy 


Water

Oxygen

Hydogen

Nitrogen​

Answer 1

Answer:

oxygen

Explanation:

The process of respiration can be shown with words or in a chemical equation. ... The equation shows that cells use six molecules of oxygen to break down one molecule of glucose . The arrow shows that when the sugar is broken down something else is produced. Energy, water, and carbon dioxide are produced.

Answer 2

The "X" in a given equation represents the oxygen molecule.

• The "process of breathing occurring in the living cells in the molecular oxygen" is known as aerobic respiration.
• Glucose or sugar is fragmented into smaller molecules in the presence of breathed oxygen which reaches the cells of various bodily sections.
• This method yields energy for the body in the forms of the ATP molecule (Adenosine Triphosphate), as well as other molecules of water and carbon dioxide as end-product.

• The correct equation is represented as:

     => Glucose molecule (Sugar) + Oxygen molecules → Energy in the form of ATP molecule + End product Carbon dioxide + End product Water

• Hence, oxygen is the main molecule for cellular respiration.
