Question

29 How Co2, are liberated during complete oxidation of one glucose molecule ?
1.) 6
2 .) 9
3.) 3
4.) 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

When one molecule of glucose is completely oxidised, 38 ATP and 4 CO2 are produced. The process of glycolysis produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH (1 NADH = 3 ATP) by substrate level of phosphorylation. 1NADH is produced by the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CO-A.

Answer 2

6 CO₂ are liberated during complete oxidation of one glucose molecule. (Option 1)

• The process of cellular respiration involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to give rise to carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
• The underlying reaction is as follows:-
• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy
• Hence, one molecule of glucose forms six molecules of CO₂ which are eliminated out of the body.
