(Glucose)C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The reaction mentioned above is:
Correct answer: A. Aerobic respiration
- A. Aerobic respiration
- B. Photosynthesis
- C. None of these
- D. Anaerobic respiration
Explanation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy is the equation of aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is the process by which cells generate energy (in the form of ATP) in the presence of oxygen. It is the most efficient way for cells to extract energy from organic molecules.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
