The balanced chemical equation for aerobic respiration is:

Balanced Chemical Equation for Aerobic Respiration

C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O

Explanation:

  • C₆H₁₂O₆ represents glucose.
  • O₂ is oxygen.
  • CO₂ is carbon dioxide.
  • H₂O is water.

In this reaction, one molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water, releasing energy in the process. This equation illustrates the fundamental process of energy production in aerobic organisms.
