Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the process: Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).
Recognize the reactants: In cellular respiration, the main reactants are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
Recognize the products: The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy in the form of ATP.
Analyze the given equations: Compare each equation to the known reactants and products of cellular respiration.
Select the correct equation: The equation that matches the reactants and products of cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
