C. 528 g of CO2, 216 g of water and 1372 cal. of energy
D. Large amount of CO2, on water and no energy
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
In the process of respiration in plants 180 g of glucose plus 192 g of oxygen produce 264 g of CO2, 108 g of water and 686 cal. of energy.Cellular respiration is the process by which biological fuels are oxidized in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor such as oxygen to produce large amounts of energy, to drive the bulk production of ATP.
C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2 (g) → 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) + heat energy.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate (CH3COCO2H). The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
