Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pathway involves the addition and subtraction of energy (as indicated by the symbols "+ Energy" and "-6" and "+6"). This suggests that it is a catabolic pathway (breaking down molecules to release energy). The specific molecules and reactions involved cannot be determined from the given symbols. The other answer choices cannot be definitively determined from the given information.

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -6 CO2 + 6 H2O

C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6 O₂-6 CO₂+ 6 H₂O
