Question

breakdown of glucose to eat energy occurs in the cells of organism this is known as ____

Answer 1

Process is known as Respiration .....

Answer 2

Hi mate.

Thanks for asking this question.

Here is your answer,

Process is known as Respiration



The process in which the simple organic

compound I. e Glucose is broken down to

Gain energy.

By the help of three steps.

(1) Glycolysis :

The process in which Glucose is

break down with the help of 2 ATP and forms

to 2 mol. of pyruvate by releasing 4 ATP and

2NADH2.




(2) Link reaction :

The pyruvate is broken into

Acetyl coA (2c) with the help of

DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX by releasing

2 NADH2 and 2 CO2.



(3) KREBS CYCLE :

IT takes place in the

mitochondrial matrix in which Acetyl CoA

Is react with oxaloacetate to form citrate ( 6c).

In this whole cycle the 2 ATP, 6 NADH2 and

2 FADH2.



AND LASTLY ETS :


IT takes place in the inner mitochondrial

membrane in which the assimilatory power

generated in Glycolysis and Krebs cycle is

used for the preparation of ATP,

by using Molecular oxygen.


Lastly concluded that the,

$1nadh2 = 3atp$
$1fadh2 = 2atp$


In total Respiration lastly 34ATP are formed

through ETS and 4 ATP is directly formed.


So, the 38 ATP IS GENERATED.





Thank you.
