6. Challenge: 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.

No, the equation is not balanced

Explanation:

The complete question is

Challenge: 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.

C6H12O6 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O

A. Is the formula balanced as written? Why or why not?

Solution -

No, the equation is not balanced. The balanced chemical reaction of cellular respiration process is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O

The number of atoms  of each element must be same on both the sides of the equation.

In the equation - C6H12O6 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O, there are 6 carbon on left side of equation while only one carbon on the right side of equation. Like wise there are 12 hydrogen atom on LHS and 2 hydrogen atom on RHS. Oxygen number is also unbalanced.
