Question

question 21 of 29 which chemical reaction represents the matter and energy conversions that occur during cellular respiration? a. sunlight + co₂ → glucose + o₂ b. glucose + co₂ → energy + o₂ + water c. sugar + o₂ → atp + co₂ + water d. energy + water + co₂ → sugar + o₂

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose (sugar) is broken - down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water. Option A represents photosynthesis. Option B has an incorrect reactant - carbon dioxide is not a reactant in cellular respiration in this way. Option D also has the wrong direction of the reaction as it resembles a reverse of photosynthesis.

Answer:

C. Sugar + O₂ → ATP + CO₂ + Water
