The complete overall chemical equation for cellular respiration, using chemical symbols, is:
\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{energy} \]
Here, glucose (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)) and oxygen (\( \text{O}_2 \)) are the reactants, while carbon dioxide (\( \text{CO}_2 \)), water (\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)), and energy (often represented as ATP) are the products.
