During cellular respiration, which of the following is equal to the total number carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in water and carbon dioxide? A) Number if carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in glucose. B) Number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in oxygen gas C) Total number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in glucose and oxygen D) Total number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in hydrogen gas and oxygen

Option C) Total number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in glucose and oxygen

Explanation:

In cellular respiration, the equation is shown below

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (in form of ATP)

6 carbon atoms on both left and right sides

12 hydrogen atoms on both sides

18 oxygen atoms on both sides

Thus, from the equation provided, the total number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in glucose and oxygen is equal to the

total number carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in water and carbon dioxide

 The answer would be C

Explanation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy  The 12 hydrogen atoms in the glucose make it possible for form 6 water molecules

thinking it would be physical characteristics

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
