The process depicted is cellular respiration, where the reactants glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) are converted into the products carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and energy in the form of ATP. This process is crucial for living organisms as it allows them to convert the chemical energy stored in glucose into a usable form of energy, which is essential for various cellular functions and overall metabolism.
Examine the image and chemical formula below. In 2-3 sentences, describe the process. In your answer, include the name of the process, the names of the reactants and products, and an explanation of why this is an important process for living organisms. Grading Considerations: Your answer must include: 2-3 complete sentences Correct name of this cellular process Identification of which molecules are reactants and which are products, and the names of these molecules The importance of this process for living organisms. Answers longer than 5 sentences will not be considered. Answering concisely and to the point is evidence of your understanding of the topic.
