True (It is produced).
During cellular respiration glucose is oxidized to CO2 and H2O. CO2 is released during pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid (Krebs) cycle — a total of 6 CO2 molecules per glucose molecule (2 from pyruvate oxidation, 4 from the citric acid cycle). (By contrast, photosynthesis uses CO2.)
