Carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is transported from your mitochondria out of your cell, to your red blood cells, and back to your lungs to be exhaled. ATP is generated in the process. When a glucose molecule is broken down, it can be converted into a net total of 36 or 38 ATP molecules. This only occurs in the presence of oxygen.

Summary:

-Most of the steps of cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria.

-Oxygen and glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration.

-The main product of cellular respiration is ATP; waste products include carbon dioxide and water.
