The commonly used overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+ATP\text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6+6\text{O}_2\rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2+6\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{ATP}C6​H12​O6​+6O2​→6CO2​+6H2​O+ATP. In words, this means: glucose plus oxygen yields carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.
