The reaction equation that represents the chemical change resulting from glycolysis followed by cellular respiration is C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂$\rightarrow$6 CO₂ + _______ ATP + 6 _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction equation is showing the conversion of one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) to 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6 molecules of water (H2O), along with the production of 32 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and 6 molecules of NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Therefore, the missing products in the equation are 32 ATP and 6 NADH. Choice D is the only one that includes both of these products.
