Question

what goes in the blank? c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ = 6co₂ + 6h₂o + ____ a sugar b atp c nadp d lactic acid

Explanation:

The given equation represents cellular respiration. In cellular respiration, glucose ($C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$) is oxidized in the presence of oxygen ($O_{2}$) to produce carbon - dioxide ($CO_{2}$), water ($H_{2}O$), and energy in the form of ATP. Sugar is the reactant, NADP is involved in other metabolic processes like photosynthesis, and lactic acid is a product of anaerobic respiration.

Answer:

B. ATP
