Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions which begin with the reactants of sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen and glucose are both reactants of cellular respiration. When one molecule of glucose is broken down, it can be converted to a net total of 36 or 38 molecules of ATP. This only occurs in the presence of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen and glucose represent the reactants, while carbon dioxide, water, and energy represent the products. Reactants are the molecules that combine to start the reaction. Products are those molecules produced during cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).
Detailed explanation-5: -Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration-it is the main respiratory substrate . Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules. Respiration is a series of chemical reactions, but this equation summarises the overall process.
