C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP is the overall equation for what process?
aerobic respiration
The given equation represents cellular respiration, which is the process by which living cells break down glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and produces a net gain of 36 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose broken down.
