7 0

Answer:

The correct option is 9

Explanation:

The easiest way to balance any combustion equation is to first write the general form.  In a combustion reaction the products are always carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and the reactants are the organic material plus oxygen (O2).

General Form:

C6H12 +  O2 -->   CO2  +  H2O

Now start by balancing the carbon atoms:

six carbons on the left so you need 6 on the right.

C6H12   +   O2   --->    6 CO2  +  H2O

Next balance the hydrogen atoms:

12 on the left, so you need 12 on the right.

C6H12  +   O2 -->   6CO2    +   6H2O

Now count the number of oxygen on the right = 12 + 6= 18

Divide the number on the right by 2 to get the number needed on the left.   18/2 = 9

How do cells get ATP, the energy currency that does work in living things?
luda_lava [24]
How do cells get ATP through Cellular Respiration.
Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. The Mitochondria use oxygen (O2) to convert broken-down glucose (at type of sugar) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
The reactants of CR are oxygen and glucose.
The products of CR are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
