Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule undergoes a series of chemical reactions to produce energy. Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules such as pyruvate through a process called glycolysis. Pyruvate then enters the mitochondria, where it is further broken down and converted into carbon dioxide, water, and a large amount of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Thus, the products of cellular respiration include carbon dioxide, water, and ATP, derived from the breakdown of the glucose molecule.
