What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Correct answer is:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+6O_(2)\Rightarrow 6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O+energy$

But how to get there?

Let's start with simple explanation of what exactly is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a multistage biochemical oxidation process of organic substances when prime product is energy (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) and other are released waste products.

Cellular respiration takes place even if other metabolic processes are stopped, but cellular respiration may differ in particular organism groups.

Some reactions during whole process of cellular respiration are similar in all types of living organisms.

Cellular respiration is prime indication of declining living processes.

Only viruses which are on the edge of living organism and chemical particle are not performing cellular respiration.

But to the point :P

In cellular respiration all substrates which are in the cell might be organic, but mostly we are using sugar oxidation - glucose in the presence of oxygen.

Chemical formula of sugar looks like this:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6$

Oxygen is just $O_2$

so for now we have just part of the equation:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+O_(2)\Rightarrow$

But what would be on the right hand side?

It's quite simple, remember equation of full combustion? If we want to burn something we need oxygen like in the equation, so the product of this equation would be carbon dioxide, water and of course energy (ATP).

Carbon dioxide formula looks like this:

$CO_(2)$

As a reminder water formula:

$H_(2)O$

Full formula would look like that:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+O_(2)\Rightarrow\ CO_(2)+H_(2)O+energy$

But still as you see this equation is unbalanced, after balancing it would like that:

$C_(6)H_(12)O_6+6O_(2)\Rightarrow 6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O+energy$

At the end I would like to explain one more thing. Energy which has been released during this process is part of high-energy connection which might be used to perform chemical reactions in the cell or to move organism for example in muscles. We need to remember that production of ATP is not happening with 100% efficiency and part of this energy is released as heat.

Answer 2

Answer: $C_(6) H_(12) O_(6) +6O_(2) ---\ \textgreater \ 6CO_(2) +6H_(2) O+ENRGY$

Suggest a reason why flowering plants tend to reproduce more in the warmer summer months

Answers

The flowering plants tend to reproduce more in the warmer summer months.

How does warm temperatures affect plants?

Warm temperatures are unfavorable to plants.
Photosynthesis occurs at a slower rate.
The rate of transpiration rises.

What is the effect on the reproduction?

The plants start flowering and is rate of flowering increases.

However these plants show reduced seed setting or fruit development.

Why does it occur?

It happens because these temperatures are unfavorable to the plant.

To escape this unfavorable condition they complete their life cycle as soon as possible.

Check all the factors that apply when evaluating whether an adaptation is a success.A. what choices were made in another adaptation
B. the particular choices made in the adaptation
C. how much more enjoyable the adaptation is than the original
D. the effects of the choices made in the adaptation
E. why the choices made in the adaptation are effective

Answers

Factors which are being applied when evaluating whether the adaptation is success include;

1. Why the choices which are made in the adaptations are effective.

2. The effects of the choices made in the adaptation.

3. The particular choices made in the adaptation.

Adaptation is termed as dynamic evolutionary process which fits organisms to their environment which enhance evolutionary fitness.

Organisms face succession of environmental challenges as they grow and they show adaptive plasticity when traits develop as they show adaptive plasticity when traits develop.

the factors that apply when evaluating whether an adaptation is a success are :

- The particular choices made in the adaptation
- the effects of the choices made in the adaptation
- why the choices made in the adaptation are effective
