Respuesta :

Cellular respiration is a process that takes place in the mitochondrion and produces carbon iv oxide and energy in form of ATP. Cellular respiration uses fuel (glucose) and oxygen and also uses energy captured from electrons flowing to oxygen to produce most of ATP in the cells. The correct answer is X represents glucose and Y represents oxygen.

The correct answer is Glucose + Oxygen + Water + Energy
