Cellular respiration produces water and carbon dioxide as byproducts. The overall equation for cellular respiration can be summarized as follows:
\[ \text{Glucose (C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6\text{) + Oxygen (O}_2\text{) } \rightarrow \text{ Carbon Dioxide (CO}_2\text{) + Water (H}_2\text{O) + Energy (ATP)} \]
In addition to water and carbon dioxide, the process also generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of the cell.
