4. The net equation for glucose breakdown is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy. 5. Glucose is a high energy molecule; CO2 and H2O are low energy molecules; cellular respiration is thus exergonic because it releases energy. 6. Electrons are removed from substrates and received by oxygen, which combines with H+ to become water. 7. ................
