Answer:

C. The equation describes the process of cellular respiration that occurs in many organisms when oxygen is available.

Explanation:

The given equation strictly describes the process of cellular respiration that occurs in many organisms when oxygen is available.

This is known as aerobic respiration.

  • In this process, oxygen gas combines with glucose in series of metabolic step ways.
  • This in turn liberates energy for use by the body.
  • The waste product is usually oxygen gas and carbon dioxide.
  • The carbon dioxide is release into the environment.
