Fill the gap in a table, diagram or equation, or enter the reading in the form the question asks for.

Original question
Complete the word equation for aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen → ? + ? + energy.
Annotated answer
PatternA word equation with two gaps on the product side. ItemCarbon dioxide and water. CheckBoth gaps are filled. The answer is still an equation, not an essay.

Match the style of the printed cells. A paragraph does not belong in a heading.
Writing “respiration releases energy in mitochondria” and leaving the equation blank.
