Question

Explain the mechanism in which glucose is converted into Carbon dioxide?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• During the process of glycolysis in cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
• Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP.

Answer 2

Answer:

Glycolysis and Cellular Respiration

During the process of glycolysis in cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Explanation:

Glycolysis -

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO⁻, and a hydrogen ion, H⁺. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH. Glycolysis is a sequence of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Cellular Respiration -

In glycolysis, the six-carbon sugar, glucose, is broken down into two molecules of three-carbon molecule called pyruvate. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses carbon dioxide to form a two-carbon molecule. The carbon dioxide is then released.
