Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water is the molecular product of cell respiration that is useful and remains in the cell. While glucose, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are all involved in cell respiration, they are either reactants that are used up or waste products that are released from the cell. Water, on the other hand, is produced as a result of the chemical reactions that take place during cell respiration and can be used for various cellular processes.
