Question

what is the overall reaction for cellular respiration?
c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o + ~38 atp
c6h8o6 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o + ~38 atp
c6h12 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o + ~28 atp
c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6co3 + 6h2o + ~38 atp

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) in the presence of oxygen ($O_2$) to produce carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$), water ($H_2O$) and energy in the form of ATP. The correct chemical formula for glucose is $C_6H_{12}O_6$, and the products are $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ with approximately 38 ATP molecules produced per glucose molecule in aerobic respiration.

Answer:

A. $C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O+\sim38$ ATP
