Let's use the example: H2O ---> H2 + O2
We find how many elements of a product are on one side and how many elements on the other side.
Reactant: H=2 O=1
Product: H=2 O=2
We need to make the same amount of hydrogen and oxegyn atoms on each side, regardless of how high the numbers are, and we do this by adding coefficients to the compounds.
Reactant: H=4 O=2
Product : H=4 O=2
2 H2O---> 2 H2 + O2
The correct answer is option a, that is, it gets broken down.
A set of metabolic reactions and procedures, which occurs in the cells of organisms to transform biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then discharge waste components is known as cellular respiration. At the time of cellular respiration, a molecule of glucose gets dissociated slowly into water and carbon dioxide. With it, some of the ATP is generated directly in the reactions, which transform glucose.
