C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O ( + the energy currency of the cell, ATP synthesis )

This is the equation of cellular respiration where glucose is oxidized and oxygen reduced while 36 ATP are synthesized from every molecule of glucose. ATP does the cell's work and with this energy locked in the bonds of the ATP molecule you could not live a second.
