Question

The complete combustion of glucose in respiration is represented by

• A. $C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}+6 O _{2} \rightarrow+6 CO _{2}+6 H _{2} O +$ Energy
• B. $C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}+6 CO _{2} \rightarrow+6 O _{2}+6 H _{2} O +$ Energy
• C. $C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}+6 O _{2}+6 CO _{2} \rightarrow+6 CO _{2}+6 H _{2} O +$ Energy
• D. $C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}+6 O _{2}+6 CO _{2}+ ATP \rightarrow 6 CO _{2}+6 H _{2} O$ $+6 O _{2}+$ Energy

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

During respiration, glucose is broken down by oxidation within the cell and $CO _{2}$, water and energy is released. Therefore, the suitable equation is
$C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}+6 O _{2} \rightarrow+6 CO _{2}+6 H _{2} O +\text { Energy }$
