Question

What technical term is used for biological oxidation of glucose into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve molecular O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate. In aerobic cells, pyruvate formed in glycolysis is transported into the mitochondria, where it is oxidized by O2 to CO2.

Answer 2

In the process of respiration, oxygen and glucose yield water and carbon dioxide, while carbon dioxide and water yields glucose and oxygen in photosynthesis.
