Question

Cellular respiration is a process involving the breakdown of glucose molecules in order to generate energy for cellular activities. Given the general reaction below, which of the following best describes the products labeled x and y? C6H12O6 + O2 → _x___ + __y___ + energy

Answer 1

x is CO2 and y is H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

When glucose (C6H12O6) reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is: If 12 moles of oxygen react, The reaction consumes moles of glucose (C6H12O6). The reaction produces moles of carbon dioxide and moles of water.
