Question

Explain the process of breaking down of glucose in a cell in the presence of oxygen

Answer 1

In presence of oxygen
-breakdown of glucose into pyruvate takes place in mitochondria of the cell
- end products of this process CO2 to H2O and high amount of energy.
-Glucose is converted into a 3 carbon molecule called pyruvate which furtherbreaks down in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Answer 2

In the processs of breaking down of glucose in presence of oxygen which is known as aerobic respiration.glucose which is 6carbon molecule is converted to pyruvate which is 3carbon molecule and then it is converted into carbon dioxide,water and then to energy.
