A6 CO2 + 6 H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + energy
BC6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
CC6H12O6 -> 2 lactic acid + energy only
D2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O + energy in cells
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
1. The chapter section 7.1 prints this overall respiration equation.
2. Glucose is oxidised by oxygen.
3. Products are CO2, water and energy stored as ATP.
4. So option A is correct.
