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: -Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process. Background Information: Plants make sugar by using energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas absorbed from the air, and water (H20) taken from the ground by roots into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. The molecule ATP is used for energy to run cellular processes. Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere where it is used in photosynthesis by plants. The process of photosynthesis uses ATP for energy to build glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-5: -So, in aerobic respiration, a total of 38 molecules of ATP are created, with 2 ATP molecules formed outside the mitochondria. Electron transfer from glycolysis’ NADH and FADH2 molecules, pyruvate transformation, and the Krebs cycle generates up to 32 additional ATP molecules.
