Question

The equation shown represents cellular respiration.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is X represents water and Z represents oxygen.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is defined as the breaking of sugar into a form that a cell can use as energy. This breaking of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen gas.

Equation for the cellular respiration is given by the chemical reaction:

$C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O+Energy$

Here, $C_6H_{12}O_6$ = Glucose

For the given chemical equation in the question,

$Glucose+Z\rightarrow X+Y+Energy$

Z represents oxygen gas

X represents either carbon dioxide or water

Y represents either carbon dioxide or water

Hence, the correct answer is X represents water and Z represents oxygen.
