The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Francium is an element that melts at room temperature. Francium is a highly reactive element, and only contains one valence electron, which is very ironic in my opinion.
They are described through the use of four physical properties or macroscopic characteristics: pressure, volume, number of particles (chemists group them by moles) and temperature.

Answer:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Explanation:
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells. It is a process in which sugar is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon dioxide. This is the major process by which energy is released in living organisms.
Aerobic respiration involves a series of chemical reactions. These reactions commence with sugar and oxygen then it produces carbon dioxide and water according to the reaction equation; C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
