Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants of cellular respiration? SELECT 2!
A
carbon dioxide
B
oxygen
C
glucose
D
ATP
E
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen and glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration. The main product of cellular respiration is ATP; waste products include carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, the reactants-glucose (sugar) and oxygen-combine together to form new products: carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first phase of cellular respiration, glycolysis, uses glucose as a reactant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, and the reactants are one molecule of glucose and two molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The ATP molecules provide energy so that the reaction can occur.
