Challenge: To balance the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration, there should be the same number of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms on each side of the arrow. A. Is the formula balanced as written? Why or why not?

Cellular respiration is a biochemical process that takes place in cells in which oxygen and food molecules get converted to give chemical energy for cell functioning.

No, the given equation is not balanced:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O

       C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + H₂O

       C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + H₂O

       C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Therefore, the correct balanced equation is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

The missing equation of the question is -

C6H12O6 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O

No, the given equation is not balanced.

Explanation:

Given equation

C6H12O6 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O

for the reaction of the cellular respiration is not balanced as there are different numbers of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen present on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are more than the atoms present on the right side of the arrow. There are six carbon atoms present on the left whereas there is only one on the right side similarly hydrogen atoms are 12 and oxygen atoms are 8 in number whereas on the right side number of hydrogen are two and 3 atoms of oxygen.

The correct equation is :

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O

i think a) betsy can donate only blood to mark is correct because, mark and betsy have the same blood type. whereas nobody else has b+ blood so betsy can't donate to them.

not only is it colder, it also becomes darker, less salty, and more dense.
