Question

translate the following statments into chemical equations and then balance them :
The process of respiration​

Answer 1

Statement:—

★ In the process of respiration carbohydrates from food we eat breakdown to form glucose which reacts with oxygen to release energy with carbon dioxide and water. Hence, the process of respiration is also known as exothermic reaction.

$\rule{200}2$

Chemical Equation:—

$\sf{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+O_{2}\longrightarrow\:CO_{2}+H_{2}O+38ATP}$

$\rule{200}2$

Balanced Chemical Equation:—

$\sf{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\longrightarrow\:6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+38ATP}$

$\rule{200}2$

Note:—

All chemical Equation should be balanced to satisfy the law of conservation of mass which states that mass is neither be created nor be destroyed in any chemical reaction.

Answer 2

The process of respiration :-

• Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (the currency of energy in cells).

• Respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

The balanced equation that represents cellular respiration is:-

C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2) → 6CO(2) + 6H(2)O + 38ATP

This formula could also be read as:-

Glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + energy..

• This means that in cellular respiration glucose and oxygen are transformed to make water, carbon dioxide, and energy.
• Your body is utilizing the oxygen you breathe in as well as the food you eat to produce energy.
