Needs- glucose and oxygen.

Makes- water and carbon dioxide.

During cellular respiration, glucose is combined with oxygen and is transformed in your mitochondria into the high-energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is made of a base, a sugar and three phosphate groups. The phosphate groups are held together by a high-energy bond. When the bond is broken, a high level of energy is released and is used by the cells. Once the bond is broken ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate) which has only two phosphate groups and is able to pick up another phosphate.

During cellular respiration, glucose is "burned" in the presence of oxygen, making water, carbon dioxide and lots(34) of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products of cellular respirations.
