• O₂

• NaOH

• HNO₃

Answer 1

A molecule of glucose is completely oxidised in aerobic respiration and molecules of H₂O and CO₂ are produced along with energy.

Explanation:

In aerobic respiration, glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and ATP.

\[\ce{C6H12O6 + 6O2 ​→ 6CO2 ​+ 6H2​O + Energy (ATP)}\]
