Answer:

D. Water

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration comprises a set of chemical reactions that occur with the participation of enzymes present in hyaloplasm and mitochondria. Through it, energy is removed from the glucose molecules in three consecutive steps: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the respiratory chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cell's hyaloplasm, the Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and the respiratory chain in the mitochondrial ridges.

The cell respiration equation is: C6H12O6 + O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy. With this equation we can see that a molecule that is generated as a result of cellular respiration is water, in addition to CO2 and energy.
