Cellular respiration is a process involving the breakdown of glucose molecules in order to generate energy for cellular activities. Given the general reaction below, which of the following best describes the products labeled x and y? C6H12O6 + O2 → _x___ + __y___ + energy
A.The products are CO (carbon monoxide) and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), which then decompose into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
B.The products are H2O (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide), which then undergo anaerobic respiration.
C.The products are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water), which then become the reactants for photosynthesis.
D.The products are O2 (oxygen) and H2O (water), which are then used for growth and to keep the organism hydrated.
