Sure, let's address each question related to the equation of cellular respiration.

Equation:
[tex]\[ C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6 O_2 \rightarrow 6 H_2O + 6 CO_2 + \text{energy} \][/tex]

### 1. What is/are the reactants of cellular respiration?

The reactants are the substances that undergo a chemical change during the reaction. They are on the left side of the equation, before the arrow.

In this equation, the reactants are:
- Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\))
- Oxygen (6 \(O_2\))

So, the reactants of cellular respiration are:
[tex]\[ \text{Glucose } (C_6H_{12}O_6) \text{ and } 6 \text{ Oxygen } (6 O_2) \][/tex]

### 2. What is/are the products of cellular respiration?

The products are the substances formed as a result of the reaction. They are on the right side of the equation, after the arrow.

In this equation, the products are:
- Water (6 \(H_2O\))
- Carbon Dioxide (6 \(CO_2\))
- Energy

So, the products of cellular respiration are:
[tex]\[ 6 \text{ Water } (6 H_2O),\ 6 \text{ Carbon Dioxide } (6 CO_2),\ \text{ and energy } \][/tex]

In summary:
1. The reactants of cellular respiration are Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and 6 Oxygen (\(6 O_2\)).
2. The products of cellular respiration are 6 Water ([tex]\(6 H_2O\)[/tex]), 6 Carbon Dioxide ([tex]\(6 CO_2\)[/tex]), and energy.
