Question

What is the Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration?

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Equation for cellular respiration is:

$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} +6O_{2}$ → $6CO_{2} +6H_{2} O+Energy$

Explanation:

• Both plants and animals undergo a series of metabolic pathways, collectively called cellular respiration.

• Cellular respiration extracts the energy from the bonds in glucose and converts it into a form that all living things can use.

• Cellular respiration is the process by which individual cells break down food molecules like glucose and release energy.

• The process is similar to burning, although it doesn’t produce light or intense heat as a campfire does. This is because it releases energy slowly in small steps.
• Glucose and oxygen are reactants and water and energy os the product.
