Oxidation in chemistry, biochemistry, cellular respiration

\begin{align} \text{glucose + oxygen} &-> \text{carbon dioxide + water + energy}\\ \ce{C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 &-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP}\\ \ce{C6H12O6(aq)} &= \text{glucose in aqueous solution}\\ \ce{O2} &= \text{oxygen}\\ \ce{CO2} &= \text{carbon dioxide}\\ \ce{H2O} &= \text{water}\\ \ce{C10H16N5O13P3} &= \text{Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)}\\ \end{align}

1 mole of glucose in aqueous solution
plus 6 moles of oxygen
yields 6 moles of carbon dioxide
plus 6 moles of water
plus 38 ATPs
