Question

18. Which bonds of glucose are broken down
by oxidation during respiration ?
(1) C-0
(2) C-H
(3) C-C
() C-N

plss help me. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(3) C-C is the correct answer.

Hope this answer helps you!

Explanation:

Aerobic Respiration. Anaerobic respiration and lactate fermentation break only a single carbon-carbon bond in the glucose molecule. As such, only a small amount of the energy present in a glucose molecule is released.

Answer 2

C-C bonds of glucose are broken down by oxidation during respiration (Option 3)

• Respiration refers to the process of breaking down complex organic molecules (i.e. respiratory substrates) into simpler substances in the presence of oxygen.
• Precisely, the carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds are broken during this biochemical reaction.
• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy
• The energy that is released during this process is coupled with the synthesis of ATP.
