Question

the process of cellular respiration can be represented by the chemical formula a ( \text{c}_6\text{h}_{12}\text{o}_6 + \text{o}_2
ightarrow \text{co}_2 + \text{h}_2\text{o} + \text{energy} ) b ( \text{c}_6\text{h}_{12}\text{o}_6 + \text{h}_2\text{o}
ightarrow \text{co}_2 + \text{h}_2\text{o} ) c ( \text{co}_2 + \text{h}_2\text{o} + \text{light}
ightarrow \text{c}_6\text{h}_{12}\text{o}_6 + \text{o}_2 ) d ( \text{co}_2 + \text{h}_2\text{o}
ightarrow \text{c}_6\text{h}_{12}\text{o}_6 + \text{o}_2 )

Explanation:

Cellular respiration involves breaking down glucose with oxygen to produce CO₂, H₂O, and energy. Photosynthesis (reverse) uses light, CO₂, and H₂O to make glucose and O₂. Option A correctly represents this process.

Answer:

A. C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + energy
