C6H12O6 + O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O ΔG = –686 kcal/mol This reaction represents cellular respiration. What happens to the energy released from glucose during this reaction? A; It is not used anywhere. B; It is used to form water. C; It is captured by ADP or lost as heat. Please, help me!



Answer :

The reaction represented in this question, C6H12O6 + O2 ? 6 CO2 + 6 H2O ?G = –686 kcal/mol, shows an instance in which the energy released from glucose during cellular respiration would be captures as ADP or lost as heat. The correct answer is therefore C.
