"The equation is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water and energy is produced in the form of ATP."

Explanation: Cellular respiration is an oxidative (catabolic) process (mainly in mitochondria) that breaks down glucose with O2 to release CO2, H2O and chemical energy stored as ATP (plus heat). Light is not required.
