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: -When carbon dioxide reacts with water, carbonic acid is formed, from which hydrogen ions dissociate, increasing the acidity of the system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The final end products of cellular respiration are ATP and H2O. Glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules, four ATPs (a net of two ATP), two NADH, and two H2O.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration is when glucose and oxygen react to form the products carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Anaerobic respiration is either alcohol fermentation where glucose is turned into carbon dioxide, ethanol, and ATP; or lactic acid fermentation, where glucose is turned into lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and ATP.
Detailed explanation-5: -While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
