Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. 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-2: -CO 2 is created in the mitochondrial matrix during the TCA or Krebs cycle. Ingested nutrients in the form of glucose ( C 6 H 12 O 6 ) and oxygen are converted to energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate through cellular respiration (ATP). As a result of this reaction, CO 2 is created as a byproduct.
