Which statement describes the reaction for cellular respiration?
A. The equation is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water and energy is required in the form of light.
B. The equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP.
C. The equation is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP.
D. The equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is required in the form of light.
Answer (2)
Cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. The correct equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy. This process is distinct from photosynthesis, which uses light to produce glucose. ;
Cellular respiration is the process that converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP). The correct equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
