What are the chemical formula cellular respiration?

Answer 1

The general equation for aerobic respiration is as follows:

Organic compounds + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Usually the organic compound is glucose, but other nutrients can be involved as well. The specific equation for glucose (and is most commonly used) is:

C6H12O6+ 6 O2→ 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + Energy (34-36 ATP + heat)

Alcohol Fermentation

Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (2 ATP)

C6H12O6→ 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + Energy (2 ATP)

Lactic Acid Fermentation

Glucose → Lactic Acid + Energy (2 ATP)

C6H12O6 → C3H6O3 + Energy (2 ATP)

Answer 2

The overall chemical formula for cellular respiration is:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

This represents the conversion of glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) into carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy (in the form of ATP) in the cells.

Answer 3

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + Energy (as ATP)

or

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (as ATP)
