Question

oxygen is necessary for Complete
r oxidation


of glucose

Answer 1

yes oxygen is required for complete oxidation of glucose...as oxygen break down the food particles to form glucose in order to provide energy to the body

Answer 2

Here's the answer

When glucose is completely oxidised in aerobic respiration, it produces 38 molecules of ATP.

In cellular respiration, three processes take place one after the other. They are Glycolysis , Krebs cycle and election transfer chain reaction.

In absence of oxygen , Glycolysis can occur only but other further reaction will not take place.

If Glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen, it produces alcohol. By anaerobic Glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are produced. This results in less energy supply to the body.

Therefore, Oxygen is necessary for complete oxidation of glucose.
