Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What reactants are there in cellular respiration?
A
Water and Glucose
B
Oxygen and Glucose
C
Carbon Dioxide and Water
D
Twenty One Pilots
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. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced as the form of energy that can be used for other cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The starting reactants of cellular respiration include glucose, ATP, and NAD+; and the final products include ATP and H2O.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both hydrogen and oxygen gases exist as diatomic (“two-atom”) molecules. These molecules are the reactants in the reaction.
