Question

which cell organelle is necessary for complete oxidation of glucose

Answer 1

Mitochondria is necessary for complete oxidation of glucose.It is also called as the powerhouse of the cell.

 It is a Semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes and sizes in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and not the nucleus.

Their main jog is to convert energy.

Answer 2

The process of glycolysis refers to breaking down of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid.

Presence of Oxygen: During the Kerb’s cycle, acetyl CoA is formed from pyruvic acid when oxygen is present and is responsible for the complete oxidation of glucose.

Oxygen is required for the complete oxidation of glucose.

Mitochondria is the organelle that acts as the powerhouse.

It is responsible for providing oxygen and the provide energy for the complete oxidation of glucose.

Hence, the answer is mitochondria.
