|
carbon
|
|
|
glucose
|
|
|
carbon dioxide
|
|
|
oxygen dioxide

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: -ATP. Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of normal cell function when it is breathed out of the body. CO2 is also produced when fossil fuels (such as gasoline, natural gas and coal) and wood are burned.
