Which statement describes the reaction for cellular respiration?

The equation is carbon dioxide - water glucose + oxygen + water and energy is required in the form of light

The equation is glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP.

The equation is carbon dioxide - water glucose + oxygen + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP

The equation is glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water and energy is required in the form of light.

The correct answer will be option - glucose + oxygen→carbon dioxide + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the stepwise oxidation of the food particle mainly glucose to produce the energy molecule in the form of ATP. The respiration takes place in four stages: glycolysis, pyruvate decarboxylation, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.

The respiration process begins with the breakdown of glucose through glycolysis and requires oxygen which is utilized at the end of the electron transport chain.

The byproducts released in the form of carbon dioxide gas, metabolic water and the energy molecule called ATP which is utilized during the metabolic process.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

The equation is glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide + water + energy is required in the form of light
