Question

Which of the following correctly identifies the reactants and products of aerobic cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide + ATP + water → glucose + oxygen
Glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + ATP
Pyruvate + carbon dioxide → oxygen + water + ATP
NADH + pyruvate → carbon dioxide + alcohol + NAD+

Answer 1

The second statement.

Answer 2

This is my last questions so if you could explain it to me that would be great :)

Answer 3

Glucose, a 6 carbon structure, is broken in half using 2 units of ATP to make pyruvate. The pyruvate goes through a 6 step process which creates 4 units of ATP. The oxygen is used as a final acceptor creating the end products of water and CO2.

Answer 4

Does that help?

Answer 5

Yes but what about photosynthesis???

Answer 6

Would it be this?

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → oxygen + glucose

Answer 7

Photosynthesis is a different process which uses energy from the sunlight, glucose, and CO2.

Answer 8

Yes it would, CO2 + light + water -> O2 + glucose
