Question

level 1 q3 what formula is cellular respiration? a. 38 atp + 6 co2 --> 6 h2o + 6 o2 + c6h12o6 b. c6h12o6 + 6 co2 --> 6 h2o + 6 o2 +38 atp c. 38 atp + 6 o2 --> 6 h2o + 6 co2 + c6h12o6 d. c6h12o6 + 6 o2 --> 6 h2o + 6 co2 + 38 atp

Explanation:

The correct formula for cellular respiration is the process where glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)) are used to produce carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and ATP (energy). The reactants are glucose and oxygen, and the products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Option D matches this: \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow 6H_2O + 6CO_2 + 38 ATP\). Options A and C have ATP and other substances as reactants which is incorrect, and Option B has \(CO_2\) as a reactant (it should be a product) and \(O_2\) as a product (it should be a reactant), so they are wrong.

Answer:

D. \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow 6H_2O + 6CO_2 + 38 ATP\)
