The chemical equation of cellular respiration primarily contains information about **the relative amounts of products and reactants**. The general equation for cellular respiration can be written as:
\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{energy} \]
This equation indicates that one molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water, and energy (in the form of ATP). It does not provide details about the formation of glucose, the intermediate reactions, or the environment in which cellular respiration occurs.
