Answer to Question #339290 in Biochemistry for priya

Question

Given the overall equation for respiration (C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O), in which step(s) in the respiratory pathway is/are each of the reactants used up and each of the products made? 

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration takes place in the Mitochondria and requires Oxygen and Glucose, and produces Carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2​O + ATP (Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + water + ATP).So, the correct option is 'Respiration'.
