Which is a slow combustion in which glucose persent in the body cells combine with oxygen to produce energy?

Open in App

Solution

Glucose combines with oxygen and breaks into carbon-di-oxide along with release of energy. This process is known as respiration.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ â†’ CO₂ + H₂O + Heat
The heat produced is utilized by your body in the for of energy to carry out other actions.
