Question

use the diagram above to answer the next question. what is the chemical reaction that occurs in this organelle? select one: a. c₆h₁₂o₆ + co₂ ® o₂ + h₂o + atp b. c₆h₁₂o₆ + o₂ ® co₂ + h₂o + atp c. o₂ + h₂o + atp ® c₆h₁₂o₆ + co₂ d. co₂ + h₂o + atp ® c₆h₁₂o₆ + o₂

Explanation:

The organelle shown is a mitochondrion. Cellular respiration, which is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon - dioxide, water, and ATP, occurs in mitochondria. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is $\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2
ightarrow CO_2 + H_2O+ATP}$.

Answer:

B. $\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2
ightarrow CO_2 + H_2O + ATP}$
