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. True
b. False

A) True

Explanation:

This is the equation that comes with the question;

C6H12O6 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O

If we observe it, we will see that equation is not balanced, the number of atoms of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen that are present on the Left side are less than the numbers of atom on the right side. The number of atoms of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen on the left side are; 6, 12 and 8 respectively, while on the right side of the arrow we have 1, 2 and 3 atoms respectively.

If we balance the cellular respiration equation.

THEN CORRECT CELLULAR RESPIRATION EQUATION IS

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O

where there are 6 atom of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen and 18 atoms of Oxygen on both side of the arrow.

Therefore, 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

the organisms are not adapted to live in some communities or habitats.

when a reversible reaction is occurring in both directions at the same rate; the products and reactants do not change in concentration. a chemical reaction where the compound is broken into its constituent parts.
