which compound completes the equation _____ + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy
a) oxygen b) ATP c) glucose d) proteins

Respuesta :

Answer:c) glucose

Explanation: The complete balanced chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

The equation above represents cellular respiration. During respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down in the presence of six molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide (6CO2), six molecules of water (6H2O) and energy (ATP).
