Question

Which of the following correctly identifies the reactants and products of aerobic cellular respiration?

-Carbon dioxide + ATP + water → glucose + oxygen

-Glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + ATP

-Pyruvate + carbon dioxide → oxygen + water + ATP

-NADH + pyruvate → carbon dioxide + alcohol + NAD+

Answer 1

glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + ATP

Answer 2

The option which correctly identifies the reactants and products of aerobic cellular respiration is the second one - glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + ATP
Aero means air, which means that this type of cellular respiration requires air as a reactant in order to produce ATP and other products.
