Question

What is represented by the following formula? C₆ H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂ O + ATP

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for cellular respiration is glucose plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP). The chemical equation is written as: C₆ H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂ O + ATP. The chemical reaction representing photosynthesis is simply the opposite of cellular respiration, written as: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration when glucose is converted to pyruvate. It takes place in the cytosol (the jelly-like substance in the cytoplasm of the cell) and produces two molecules of ATP, two molecules of pyruvate, and two molecules of NADH. The Calvin cycle is the second stage of photosynthesis when the molecules produced by light reactions are used to produce sugar.
