Question

what is respiration? write its chemical equation
(class 6)

Answer 1

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). Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).

Answer 2

Answer:

Respiration is a biochemical process through which an organism obtains energy .

The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
