What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
The chemical equation for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
This equation represents the process by which cells convert glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) into carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the primary source of energy for most cellular processes.
