Question

(04.03 MC) During cellular respiration, which of the following is equal to the total number of hydrogen atoms in water? Group of answer choices Number of hydrogen atoms in glucose Number of hydrogen atoms in carbon dioxide Total number of hydrogen atoms in sugar and hydrogen gas Total number of hydrogen atoms in carbon dioxide and oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of hydrogen atoms in glucose

Explanation:

The correct option would be number of hydrogen atoms in glucose.

From the balanced equation of cellular respiration below:

$C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O$

There are 12 atoms of hydrogen  in the water molecules produced just as there are 12 atoms of hydrogen in glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$).

There are no hydrogen atoms in carbon dioxide.

The addition of hydrogen atom in the simplest sugar and hydrogen gas is 14, rather than 12.

There are no hydrogen gas in carbon dioxide and oxygen.

Hence, the correct option is number of hydrogen atoms in glucose.

Answer 2

Answer:                                                      

Number of hydrogen atoms in glucose

                                                             

I took the test so don't worry ^^
