Question

When glucose breaks down in the cells with the help of oxygen it results in the formation of
A) Carbon dioxide B) water C) Both the above D) none of these

Answer 1

When glucose breaks down in the cells with the help of oxygen it results in the formation of Carbon dioxide

Answer 2

Answer:

When glucose breaks down in the cells with the help of oxygen it results in the formation of C) Both the above ( carbon dioxide and water)

Explanation:

• At the cellular level, glucose is broken down during glycolysis to fuel metabolic processes that release energy.

• With the release of significant amounts of chemical energy known as adenosine triphosphate as well as thermal energy, the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen results in the production of carbon dioxide and water.
• Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, and carbon dioxide are the end products of the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen in plants and fungi, with minute amounts of energy being released. Lactic acid is the end result of the breakdown of glucose in mammals in the absence of oxygen, with trace amounts of energy released. Compared to animals, plants experience less heat than they do.
