Cellular respiration is the process in which food (complex material) is broken down into simpler substances to produce the energy in form of ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate).
The reaction of cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Glucose oxygen carbon water
dioxide
The products of cellular respiration are: Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
