The reactants in the equation for cellular respiration are:
**c) glucose and oxygen**
The general equation for cellular respiration can be represented as:
\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \, (\text{glucose}) + 6 \text{O}_2 \, (\text{oxygen}) \rightarrow 6 \text{CO}_2 \, (\text{carbon dioxide}) + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} \, (\text{water}) + \text{energy (ATP)} \]
