For every glucose molecule completely oxidized, six carbon dioxide molecules are produced.

This is the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

Where:

* C₆H₁₂O₆ represents glucose

* O₂ represents oxygen

* CO₂ represents carbon dioxide

* H₂O represents water

* Energy is released in the form of ATP
