C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+6H2O+ATP
Okay so, All living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose. The energy released is stored as chemical energy in the form of a molecule called ATP. This molecule contains high energy bonds which, when broken down, release energy that is available for metabolic reactions within the cell. The waste products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is released to the air. :)

Answer;

ATP → ADP + P

Step-by-step explanation;

-The process of cellular respiration involves many different steps (reactions) to break down glucose using oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP.

-The energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work. Now its back to being ADP and is ready to store the energy from respiration by bonding with a 3rd phosphate group. ADP and ATP constantly convert back and forth in this manner.
