Answer:
Glucose is a reactant of cellular respiration.
Carbon dioxide and water are both products if cellular respiration.
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:
Identify whether each item is a reactant or a product of cellular respiration. glucose carbon dioxide (co2) water (h2o)
Explanation:
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is broken down by the cells to produce the energy molecules, ATP.
The various reaction steps of cellular respiration include glycolysis- where glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, the citric acid cycle- where two acetylCoA molecules produced from the oxidation of pyruvate are converted to carbon dioxide molecules, and finally the electron transport chain- where the electron-donors NADH and FADH2 produced in the citric acid cycle donate their electrons to oxygen to produce water molecules.
The overall chemical reaction for cellular respiration is represented as follows:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
1 molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water.
Therefore, glucose is a reactant while carbon dioxide and water are both products of cellular respiration.
