Which of the following is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? (1 point)

• C6H120 + 60г → 6C02 + 6H20 + Energy
• 6C02 + 6H20 + Energy → C6H120 + 60г
• C6H1206 → 6C02 + 6H20 + Energy

1 answer

The correct chemical equation for cellular respiration is:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

However, since your options contain some typographical errors, if we consider the third option without the errors, the closest representation of the equation for cellular respiration is:

C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

This option represents the breakdown of glucose (C6H12O6) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), releasing energy in the process.
