Select the two substances that are reactants in the chemical process that releases energy in cells. A. carbon dioxide B. oxygen C. water D. sodium E. glucose F. potassium

1 answer

The two substances that are reactants in the chemical process that releases energy in cells (specifically in cellular respiration) are:

E. glucose
A. carbon dioxide

In cellular respiration, glucose (a sugar) is broken down using oxygen to produce energy, with carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Note that in some contexts, water and oxygen are also involved in aerobic respiration, but glucose is a key reactant in this process.
