Answer:

Sugar and oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6+602 yields 6CO2+6H2O+Energy (Sugar plus oxygen yields carbon dioxide plus water plus energy). Not to be confused with photosynthesis, which is the exact opposite (Energy+6H2O+6CO2 yields C6H12O6+6O2) (Energy plus water plus carbon dioxide yields sugar plus oxygen).

Hope this helps!
