cellular respiration is:

 

  • The overall equation for cellular respiration is:

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)+O₂CO₂+H₂O+ATP (energy)\text{Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)} + \text{O₂} \rightarrow \text{CO₂} + \text{H₂O} + \text{ATP (energy)}
  • So the products of cellular respiration are:

    • Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

    • Water (H₂O)

    • ATP (usable energy)

  • Glucose is actually a reactant, not a product.
