Which of the summary statements below describes the results of the following reaction? C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 → 6 CO 2 6 H 2 O + Energy a) C 6 H 12 O 6 is oxidized and O 2 is reduced. b) O 2 is oxidized and H 2 O is reduced. c) CO 2 is reduced and O 2 is oxidized. d) O 2 is reduced and CO 2 is oxidized.

Okay, everyone. Which of the summary statements below describes the results of the following reaction? Okay. So, first off, what is this reaction here? Remember that this is aerobic cellular respiration or cellular respiration that requires oxygen. And you can actually see oxygen gas right here. So what do we know about this process? Remember that we learned that this first molecule right here is going to be glucose, which is sugar. And glucose throughout the entire process of cellular respiration is going to lose electrons. And as it loses electrons, it is going to be converted into 6 molecules of carbon dioxide. Don't worry, you'll learn the steps later. Okay. So we know that. What else do we know? We know that this molecule here is going to be oxygen, and this is going to be the oxygen that you breathe in. Now, what do we know about this? We know that oxygen is actually going to gain electrons through the entire process of cellular respiration. And when it gains those electrons, it's actually turned into 6 molecules of water. So if we look at our summary statements, we're talking about oxidation and reduction. So what we know is glucose loses electrons and the loss of electrons is oxidation. And we know that oxygen gains and the gaining of electrons is reduction. So the only correct summary statement here is answer choice a which states glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. Okay, everyone. Let's move on to our next video.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the type of reaction: The given reaction is a cellular respiration reaction, where glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down in the presence of oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy.

Understand oxidation and reduction: In a redox reaction, oxidation refers to the loss of electrons, while reduction refers to the gain of electrons. In biological systems, this often involves the transfer of hydrogen atoms or oxygen atoms.

Analyze the reactants and products: Glucose (C6H12O6) is being converted to carbon dioxide (CO2), which involves the loss of hydrogen atoms and the gain of oxygen atoms, indicating that glucose is oxidized.

Examine the role of oxygen: Oxygen (O2) is being converted to water (H2O), which involves the gain of hydrogen atoms, indicating that oxygen is reduced.

Summarize the redox process: Based on the analysis, glucose (C6H12O6) is oxidized as it loses electrons (in the form of hydrogen), and oxygen (O2) is reduced as it gains electrons (in the form of hydrogen), confirming the correct summary statement.
