glucose

carbon dioxide gas

1 answer

In cellular respiration, the reactants and products can be identified as follows:

Reactants of Cellular Respiration:

  1. Glucose (C6H12O6)
  2. Oxygen gas (O2)

Products of Cellular Respiration:

  1. Carbon dioxide gas (CO2)
  2. Water (H2O)
  3. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - Note: ATP is not listed in your original table but is a key product of cellular respiration.

Here’s how you can structure your answer based on your provided format:

| Reactant of Cellular Respiration | Product of Cellular Respiration | |----------------------------------|---------------------------------| | Glucose | Carbon dioxide gas | | Oxygen gas | Water |

In addition to these, remember that the overall equation for cellular respiration can also be expressed as follows:

\[ \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{ATP} \]

This illustrates the conversion of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, while releasing energy in the form of ATP.
