The chemical equation below shows the reaction of glucose and oxygen.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP
Which process does this equation represent and two of its products would be the reactants to which process?
⦁ Photosynthesis, aerobic respiration
⦁ Aerobic respiration, photosynthesis
⦁ Anaerobic respiration, photosynthesis
⦁ Nitrogen fixation, aerobic respiration

• Aerobic respiration, photosynthesis


It is aerobic because it requires oxygen to be carried out. Anaerobic on the other hand does not require oxygen.

It’s two products would be the reactants for photosynthesis because in photosynthesis the reverse reaction takes place as glucose is produced along with water from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.
