Question

during cellular respiration, the reactants are transformed into products through a series of chemical reactions. two key reactants of cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen gas, are represented by the chemical models below. the models show the types of atoms in the molecules and the way the atoms are arranged. complete the table to show the types of atoms found in each reactant.

Explanation:

• For glucose: The model shows white (H), black (C), and red (O) atoms. So glucose contains hydrogen (H), carbon (C), and oxygen (O) atoms.
• For oxygen: The model shows only red (O) atoms. So oxygen gas ($O_2$) contains only oxygen (O) atoms.

Answer:

Type of atom	Glucose	Oxygen
carbon (C)	✔️
oxygen (O)	✔️	✔️
