Question

what happens when glucose gets oxidized during respiration explain your answer with the help of an equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Glucose reacts with molecular oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The carbon atoms in glucose are oxidized. That is, they lose electron and go to a higher oxidation state. The oxygen atoms in molecular oxygen are reduced.

Answer 2

Answer:

hey dear here is your answer....

Glucose is the vital energy source for all the 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. We know glucose is a huge molecule and breaks down into different smaller units. At first glucose which contains 6 carbon molecules is broken in the cytoplasm of cells of all organisms. In this process we obtain a 3 carbon molecule compound called pyruvate. Further break down of pyruvate takes place in different manners in different organisms...

hope it helps you dear...

thanks dear a lot..
