What is the correct equation for cellular respiration? (SC.912.L18.9) *

1 point
6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ --> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP Energy
6O₂ +C₆H₁₂O₆ + ATP Energy --> 6CO₂ + H₂O
6CO₂ + 6H₂O --> 6O₂ +C₆H₁₂O₆ + ATP Energy
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP Energy --> 6O₂ +C₆H₁₂O₆

1 answer

The correct equation for cellular respiration is:

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ --> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP Energy

This equation represents the process by which glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is broken down in the presence of oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and energy in the form of ATP.
