Question

cellular respiration involves many chemical reactions. when a chemical process involves a series of reactions, scientists may summarize the process with a single chemical equation that shows only the key reactants and products. cellular respiration can be summarized by this chemical equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water glucose, like other sugar molecules, often serves as an energy source for cells. cells release energy by breaking down glucose through chemical reactions with oxygen gas. this process produces carbon dioxide gas and water. which of the following are key reactants of cellular respiration? oxygen carbon dioxide water glucose

Explanation:

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water. Reactants are substances that participate in a chemical reaction on the left - hand side of the equation. Here, glucose and oxygen are the reactants.

Answer:

A. oxygen, D. glucose
