A
carbon dioxide
B
chlorophyll
C
oxygen
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen and glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen is required in the cellular respiration in the electron transporter chain. It serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain facilitating the movement of electrons down the chain hence producing the ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration does not always require oxygen, but aerobic cellular respiration is more efficient and produces more cellular energy, also known as ATP. The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen, and the products are water, carbon dioxide and ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Combustion reactions must have oxygen as a reactant.
