Question

16. Identify the products and reactants of cellular respiration.(4 points)
Reactant of Cellular Respiration Product of Cellular Respiration
water


oxygen gas


glucose


carbon dioxide gas

Answer 1

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.
