Q:

What is/are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in aerobic respiration?A.oxygen only B.glucose only C.oxygen and glucose

Accepted Solution

A:
CAerobic respiration can be represented in the equation below;C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O (glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water)Step-by-step explanation:As glucose is broken down, the carbon atoms in the molecule are converted to carbon dioxide which is expelled. Also an H+ proton motive force is created across the inner-membrane of the mitochondria in during the cycle (called Krebs cycle). This potential difference  is harnessed by ATP synthase to create ATPs, and the H+  (and electrons from NADH) reduce oxygen to water.Learn More:For more on aerobic respiration check out;
