the formation of glucose.

the relative amounts of products and reactants.
the relative amounts of products and reactants.

the intermediate reactions needed to break down glucose.
the intermediate reactions needed to break down glucose.

the environment in which cellular respiration occurs.

Answer 1

The chemical equation of cellular respiration primarily contains information about the relative amounts of products and reactants. The overall equation for cellular respiration can be summarized as:

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

This equation indicates the reactants (glucose and oxygen) and the products (carbon dioxide, water, and energy), showing their relative amounts.
