Aerobic respiration — practice question

During germination, seeds carry out aerobic respiration to release energy for growth. The balanced equation for aerobic respiration in seeds may be shown as follows. $Q + R \rightarrow S + T$ Which row shows the balanced equation for aerobic respiration in seeds?

  • A$6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2$
  • B$\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}$
  • C$6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}$
  • D$\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{O}_2$
