The process described by the chemical formula, which is cellular respiration, involves the reactants glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) and produces carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is crucial for living organisms as it provides the energy required for various cellular functions through the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of cells.
