Answer:
The process that is responsible for liberation of energy in respiration is (D) Oxidation of glucose.
Explanation:
- The oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen in respiration liberates energy in the form of ATP.
- This type of respiration is called aerobic respiration.
- Glucose + oxygen → Carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP).
- For the formation of ATP in aerobic respiration, which includes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.
- Food contains glucose, which undergoes first glycolysis, and the end products of glycolysis are 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH and 2 ATP.
- This pyruvic acid then undergoes the Krebs cycle and forms 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 2 CO2 and 1 ATP.
- 2 NADH from glycolysis and 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 from the Krebs cycle undergo the electron transport chain and form ATP.
This is how the oxidation of glucose occurs and liberates energy in respiration.
