The reactants in cellular respiration are:
1. Glucose: Glucose is the primary fuel molecule that is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy.
2. Oxygen: Oxygen is required as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
3. NADH and FADH2: NADH and FADH2 are energy carriers that donate electrons to the electron transport chain.
4. ADP (adenosine diphosphate): ADP acts as a substrate for ATP synthesis.
5. Inorganic phosphate (Pi): Inorganic phosphate combines with ADP to produce ATP.
These reactants combine in various stages of cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.
