Question

Mention two steps in which glucose is broken down to release energy

Answer 1

glycolysis

glycolysisThe series of steps where glucose is broken down to release energy begins with a metabolic pathway called glycolysis. Glycolysis is the "lysing" or cutting of glucose to release energy. The six carbon sugar, glucose, is cut in half and converted into two three carbon sugars called pyruvate.

Answer 2

Answer:

During aerobic and anaerobic respiration glucose is broken down

Explanation:

During aerobic respiration glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP in the presence of oxygen and in anaerobic respiration glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP with the absence of oxygen.
