Which of the following correctly describes the chemical reaction for cellular respiration? A) glucose is broken down into water, carbon dioxide, and energy

B) carbon dioxide and water combine in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen

C) water is used to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide

D) carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released

B) carbon dioxide and water combine in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions which begin with the reactants of sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
