What during cellular respiration?

During cellular respiration the Glucose is broken down. It may be in either of two processes- Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In Aerobic respiration there is break down of glucose in CO2 and H2O along with energy in presence of O2. This can be shown in following reaction C6H12O6 + O2 --------> CO2 + H2O + Energy And in anaerobic respiration glucose is broken down in any alcohol.
