Cellular respiration transforms glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

C6H1206 +602=6CO2 +?H2O + Energy

Based on the law of conservation of matter what is the missing coefficient for water?


O 6

O 4

O2

O 8

Respuesta :

On the left side there are 12 hydrogen atoms there needs to be the same number on the right. The coefficient for hydrogen in water is 2.

2*x=12

x=6

The missing coefficient for water is O6 in cellular respiration. Thus option A is correct.

What do you mean by aerobic cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is up two types such as aerobic and anaerobic.

Aerobic Cellular Respiration is the process by which glucose is and oxygen are used to synthesize CO2, H2O and 36 ATP.  

It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell.

It has four steps such as Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm where  breakdown of glucose occur and make 2 ATP.

The Intermediate Step take place in  mitchondria where 3 carbon pyruvic acid molecules are converted to 2 carbon molecules.

Third step is the Kreb's Cycle occurs in the mitochondria where  2 ATP and Hydrogen ions are collected.

Finally, the Electron Transport Chain occurs in the cristae of the mitochondria make approximately 28-32 ATP.

Thus option A is correct.
