Combustion of Glucose (Cellular Respiration)
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
概要
The overall equation for cellular respiration is chemically identical to glucose combustion. In living cells, this reaction occurs through many enzyme-catalyzed steps (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation) to extract energy gradually as ATP rather than releasing it all as heat.
