Question

C$_6$H$_{12}$O$_6$ + 6O$_2$ $\to$ 6CO$_2$ + 6H$_2$O + Energy. This equation summarizes which process?

• A. Excretion
• B. Respiration
• C. Photosynthesis
• D. Digestion

Hint:

Remember that respiration is the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy, CO$_2$, and water.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This equation represents the process of respiration, where glucose (C$_6$H$_{12}$O$_6$) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. This is a key process in the metabolism of living organisms.
