Answer:

Glucose

Carbondioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Glucose is phosphorylated and broken down to pyruvate in the process called Glycolysis.

2.The pyruvate is decaboxylated ( loss of Carbon atoms) and enters Kreb cycle where 2 CO2 molecules are lost. 1 C02 from conversation of Citrate to alpha -ketoglutarate , and another 1 CO2 molecule loss from the conversion of Alpha keto glutarate to succinate; for each turn of Kreb cycle.

Therefore 4C02 are produced per one molecule of glucose in cellular respiration as the waste products
