Correct answer is:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_{2}\Rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy$

But how to get there?

Let's start with simple explanation of what exactly is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a multistage biochemical oxidation process of organic substances when prime product is energy (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) and other are released waste products. Cellular respiration takes place even if other metabolic processes are stopped, but cellular respiration may differ in particular organism groups.Some reactions during whole process of cellular respiration are similar in all types of living organisms.

Cellular respiration is prime indication of declining living processes.Only viruses which are on the edge of living organism and chemical particle are not performing cellular respiration.But to the point :P

In cellular respiration all substrates which are in the cell might be organic, but mostly we are using sugar oxidation - glucose in the presence of oxygen. Chemical formula of sugar looks like this:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6$

Oxygen is just

O_2

so for now we have just part of the equation:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+O_{2}\Rightarrow$

But what would be on the right hand side?

It's quite simple, remember equation of full combustion? If we want to burn something we need oxygen like in the equation, so the product of this equation would be carbon dioxide, water and of course energy (ATP).Carbon dioxide formula looks like this:

$CO_{2}$

As a reminder water formula:

$H_{2}O$

Full formula would look like that:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+O_{2}\Rightarrow\ CO_{2}+H_{2}O+energy$

But still as you see this equation is unbalanced, after balancing it would like that:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_{2}\Rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy$

At the end I would like to explain one more thing. Energy which has been released during this process is part of high-energy connection which might be used to perform chemical reactions in the cell or to move organism for example in muscles. We need to remember that production of ATP is not happening with 100% efficiency and part of this energy is released as heat.

Actual ingredients of lab (the cookies i am actually making) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 1/3 stick margarine 1 egg 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 cup flour 1 1/3 cup chocolate chip can you answer the questions below ? discussion 1. suppose you are given the following amounts of ingredients: 1 dozen eggs 24 tsp. of vanilla 1 lb. (82 tsp.) of salt 1 lb. (84 tsp.) of baking soda 3 cups of chocolate chips 5 lb. (11 cups) of sugar 2 lb. (4 cups) of brown sugar 1 lb. (4 sticks) of margarine a. for each ingredient, calculate how many cookies could be prepared if all of that ingredient were consumed. (for example, the recipe shows that using 1 egg- with the right amounts of the other ingredients- yields 24 cookies. how many cookies can you make if the recipe is increased proportionately for 12 eggs? ) b. to determine the limiting reactant for the new ingredients list, identify which ingredient will result in the fewest number of cookies. c. what is the maximum number of cookies that can be produced from the new amounts of ingredients?
