Cellular respiration is a serises of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP. The reactants for this reaction are C6H12O6 + 6O2 and the products are 6CO2 + 6H2O.
Which of the following is the correct reaction for cellular respiration?
A.) 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
B.) C6H12O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O
The correct reaction for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Therefore, the correct option is A.) 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
