Question
A student made the following diagram to represent cellular respiration.
The title of the diagram is Cellular Respiration. An oval labeled Cell has five arrows around it. The arrows labeled Oxygen, Glucose, and Energy point towards the cell. The other two arrows labeled Water and Carbon dioxide point away from the cell.
Why is this diagram incorrect?
Glucose is not used during this process.
Energy is not absorbed during this process.
The arrow for oxygen should point in the opposite direction.
The arrow for carbon dioxide should point in the opposite direction.

The diagram is incorrect because **the arrow for carbon dioxide should point in the opposite direction**. In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are used to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Therefore, carbon dioxide is a product that should be shown as leaving the cell, while oxygen and glucose are reactants that enter the cell.
