What is the equation for cellular respiration? (1 point)
Responses

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

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

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

carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

Answer 1

The correct equation for cellular respiration is:

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

This shows that glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy (in the form of ATP). Therefore, the response that accurately describes this is:

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