- Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
- 1 molecule of glucose, and 6 molecules of oxygen.
- Plants have stored glucose from photosynthesis. Other organisms eat plants or other animals to get glucose from their cells. Oxygen enters animals through their respiratory system (lungs, mouth, nose, etc.)
- The reaction happens inside of the mitochondria.
- ATP Energy.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
- 6 molecules of each
- In humans for example, we exhale the CO2 and lose water in many ways… primarily by going to the bathroom, but also by sweating, saliva, evaporation from your skin, etc.
