Answer is: 3. Water and carbon dioxide should both be moved to the products side, and glucose and oxygen should be moved to the reactants side.

Balanced chemical reaction for cellular respiration (convert biochemical energy):

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy, or:

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.

This reaction is exothermic (energy is released)

glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + energy.
This is the right chemical reaction for respiration
