During cellular respiration, when glucose is broken down to form pyruvic acid (in the process of glycolysis), the main products include 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules. However, water, oxygen, sugar, and heat are not direct products of the conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
The correct response from the options provided is **heat**, as heat is a byproduct of metabolic processes, including cellular respiration.
So, the answer is **heat**.
