What are the reactants and end products of cellular respiration?
1 Answer
Glucose and oxygen are the reactants and the end products are carbon dioxide and water with the liberation of energy in form of ATP.
Explanation:
Cellular respiration occurs in living cells. It provides energy to the cell for carrying out its metabolic activities.
Glucose (
Cellular respiration occurs in 2 steps:
Glycolysis and Kreb's cycle or Citric acid cycle .
Glucolysis occurs in absence of oxygen . Glucose is converted into fructose 1;6 di-phosphate that is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid in a series of steps of glycolysis.
Pyruvic acid is converted into oxalacetate that enters Kreb's cycle . Kreb's cycle occurs in presence of oxygen. During Kreb's cycle,
