what are the different ways
in which glucose is
oxidised to provide energy in Various organisms?
Answers
Glucose is a vital energy source for all organisms. The nutrition consumed is converted into carbohydrates, in which glucose is the key ingredient. The glucose is oxidized to provide energy to the organism.
Answer:
Breaking down of glucose involves two processes. In the first step, it is broken into three-carbon molecules called pyruvate. The pyruvate is further broken down into energy in following different ways in various organisms.
1) Aerobic respiration : In this case, pyruvate is broken down into water and carbon dioxide along with release of energy. It commonly occurs in mitochondria of cells.
2) Anaerobic respiration: In aerobic respiration break down of pyruvate takes place in presence of oxygen to give rise 3 molecules of carbon dioxide and water. And pyruvate is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
