Explanation:
The balanced equation is

energy
The equation expressed in words would be:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
The equation is formulated by combining the three following processes into one equation:
Glycolysis — the breakdown of the form of a glucose molecule into two three-carbon molecules i.e. pyruvate (pyruvic acid).
The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle or Krebs Cycle — the three-carbon pieces are pulled apart bit by bit to release the energy stored in those covalent bonds. This is where most of the
CO
2
is formed.
The Electron Transport Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation — this sequence requires the
O
2
and produces most of the energy. This energy comes in the form of
ATP , or adenine triphosphate.
Answer:
Cells of the body require oxygen to perform cellular respiration for energy. As oxygen-rich blood moves through cells, they drop off oxygen, picking up wastes. Additionally, blood also picks from the cells carbon dioxide as wastes of cellular respiration. Now, the blood gets deoxygenated and returns to the heart through the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava to the right atrium.
The inferior vena cava gets deoxygenated blood from lower body to the heart while the superior vena cava gets deoxygenated blood from upper body to the heart.
