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

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

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

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

glucose + oxygen + energy → carbon dioxide + water

Answer 1

The correct equation for cellular respiration is:

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

This can be summarized as:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy (ATP)

So the first response is the correct one.
