text: products of the oxidation of glucose? what are the products of the oxidation of glucose? is this an endothermic or exthermic process?  thanks for your help! carbon dioxide and water. its called respiration. c6h12o6 + 6o2 --> 6co2 + 6h2o h: -28036 j/mol  this is an exothermic reaction (think, if breathing takes more energy, we'd be tired all the time).
