The chemical equation of cellular respiration contains information about the relative amounts of products and reactants involved in the process. It does not specifically provide information about the environment in which cellular respiration occurs or the formation of glucose. However, it does indicate the intermediate reactions needed to break down glucose.
Correct answer: the relative amounts of products and reactants.
To determine the chemical equation of cellular respiration, we need to understand the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
In this equation, glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants. Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP are the products. The numbers in front of the reactants and products indicate the relative amounts, showing that 1 molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen react to form 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 6 molecules of water, and ATP.
Therefore, the chemical equation of cellular respiration provides information about the relative amounts of products (carbon dioxide, water, and ATP) and reactants (glucose and oxygen).
