Question

complete the glucose breakdowns pathways in case of aerobic respiration by fill in the
blanks.
Glucose-》□+□
□|□

□+□+energy

Answer 1

The breakdown of glucose pathways will convert the glucose to pyruvate that will be the three-carbon molecules.

The glucose that has 6-carbon molecules will convert to pyruvate with 3-carbon molecules and energy in the cytoplasm.

That will be further having three scenarios:

• The absence of oxygen (in yeast): Ethanol with 2-carbon molecule + Carbon dioxide + Energy

• Lack of oxygen (in our muscles cells): Lactic acid with 3-carbon molecules + Energy

• Presence of oxygen (in mitochondria): Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Answer 2

Answer:

Glucose (C6H12O6) + O2 → H2O + CO2 + Energy.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen. this generally occurs in the mitochondria of cell.

In the aerobic respiration Glucose is broken down to generate energy in presence of oxygen and as a result water and carbondioxide are released as byproducts.

This process is also called as Glycolysis.

Glucose + Oxygen → Pyruvte → Energy + water + carbondioxide
