Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
