The equation shown represents cellular respiration.

Glucose + Z → X + Y + Energy

What do X and Z most likely represent?

X represents water and Z represents oxygen.
X represents carbon dioxide and Z represents sugar
X represents sunlight and Z represents hydrogen gas.
X represents hydrogen and Z represents carbon dioxide.

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is X represents water and Z represents oxygen.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is defined as the breaking of sugar into a form that a cell can use as energy. This breaking of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen gas.

Equation for the cellular respiration is given by the chemical reaction:

[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O+Energy[/tex]

Here, [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex] = Glucose

For the given chemical equation in the question,

[tex]Glucose+Z\rightarrow X+Y+Energy[/tex]

Z represents oxygen gas

X represents either carbon dioxide or water

Y represents either carbon dioxide or water

Hence, the correct answer is X represents water and Z represents oxygen.

Answer:

X represents water and Z represents oxygen.
