Consider the reactants and products of cellular respiration. Which equation best models the process?(1 point)
Responses

glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + energy
glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + energy

glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide → water + energy
glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide → water + energy

water + carbon dioxide + energy → glucose + water
water + carbon dioxide + energy → glucose + water

water + carbon dioxide → glucose + oxygen + energy

Answer 1

The equation that best models the process of cellular respiration is:

**glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + energy**

This equation summarizes the overall process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (in the form of ATP).
