The chemical equation for cellular respiration primarily provides information about:
D. the relative amounts of products and reactants.
The general equation for cellular respiration can be written as:
\[ \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Energy} \]
This equation indicates that one molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water, and energy (in the form of ATP). It shows the stoichiometric relationship between the reactants and products but does not provide direct information about glucose formation, the environment, or intermediate reactions specifically.
