The equation for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
In this equation, glucose (C6H12O6) is oxidized, or broken down, in the presence of oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy in the form of ATP. This process is known as cellular respiration and occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
