Which equation best models cellular respiration?(1 point)
Responses
C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6CO2 → 6H2O + Energy
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 + 6CO 2 → 6H 2 O + Energy
6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + Energy → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + Energy
6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + Energ
6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
The equation that best models cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy
The equation that best models cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy
To determine this, we need to understand the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose (C6H12O6) to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process occurs in the presence of oxygen (O2) and involves the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as byproducts.
In the given options, the equation C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy accurately represents the reactants (glucose and oxygen) and the products (water, carbon dioxide, and energy) involved in cellular respiration. Therefore, this equation is the best representation of cellular respiration.
