Question

Along with the heat; sound and light are also produced during burning of fuel. Similiary, whether the sound and light are produced during oxidation of nutrients in the cell?

Answer 1

Answer:

no not produced

Explanation:

...... .....

Answer 2

The correct answer is NO.

Explanation:

• The energy obtained by the oxidation of nutrients in the cell is stored in the cell is the form of chemical energy.
• The major form in which energy is stored in the cells is ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
• ATP stores energy in their high energy phosphate bonds.
• Each molecule of ATP stores about $10^{-19}$ Joules of energy.
• During the burning of fuels where light and sound is released. Here chemical energy of fuels is converted to multiple forms of energy.
• Inside cells, entire energy generated by nutrient oxidation is used to :

1. Produce ATP molecules.
2. Maintain proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane or chloroplast membrane.
3. Store energy by converting glucose to glycogen or fatty acid to lipid.
