Answer:
The two compounds that correspond to waste products of cellular respiration are H₂O and CO₂.
Explanation:
The cellular metabolic waste products, specifically from cellular respiration are water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), from the oxidation of glucose into energy.
The process of <u>cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions</u> where, from a glucose molecule, energy is obtained in the form of ATP molecules.
Obtaining H₂O and CO₂ from glucose can be summarized with the schematic reaction:
<em>C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂</em>
This summary indicates that a glucose molecule, when oxidized, produces as waste 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide. To reach this process all the reactions of the oxidative phosphorylation occur and 24 molecules of ATP are obtained for each molecule of glucose.
For the other options it is important to mention that:
- <em><u>C₆H₁₂O₆</u></em><em> is the substrate from which cellular respiration takes place.
</em>
- <em><u>ATP </u></em><em>is the final product of cellular respiration, translated into energy to be used by the cell.</em>

Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.
