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: -The reactants for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Glucose is a sugar molecule that is produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Plants use the sun’s energy to form glucose from carbon dioxide and water, and energy is stored within the bonds of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is important because it is the preferred reactant for cellular respiration. Aerobic cellular respiration has four main steps, glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.
