Question

during cellular respiration, the reactants are transformed into products through a series of chemical reactions. two key reactants of cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen gas, are represented in the chemical models below. the models show the types of atoms in the molecules and the way the atoms are arranged. complete the table to show the types of atoms found in each reactant. type of atom glucose oxygen hydrogen (h) carbon (c) oxygen (o)

Explanation:

Step1: Count H atoms in glucose

By observing the glucose model, count the white - colored (H) atoms. There are 12 hydrogen atoms in glucose.

Step2: Count H atoms in oxygen

Oxygen gas is $O_2$, so there are 0 hydrogen atoms in oxygen.

Step3: Count C atoms in glucose

Count the black - colored (C) atoms in the glucose model. There are 6 carbon atoms in glucose.

Step4: Count C atoms in oxygen

Oxygen gas is $O_2$, so there are 0 carbon atoms in oxygen.

Step5: Count O atoms in glucose

Count the red - colored (O) atoms in the glucose model. There are 6 oxygen atoms in glucose.

Step6: Count O atoms in oxygen

Oxygen gas is $O_2$, so there are 2 oxygen atoms in oxygen.

Answer:

Type of atom	Glucose	Oxygen
carbon (C)	6	0
oxygen (O)	6	2
