Question

Which of the following releases most energy during respiration?
(a) Conversion of Glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
(b) Oxidation of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and water.
(c) Oxidation of phosphate to pyruvate.
(d) Phosphorylation of glucose.

Answer 1

The correct option is B)

Answer 2

(b) Oxidation of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and water releases most energy during respiration.

Amount of energy release:

• Alcoholic fermentation one mole of glucose into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide, creating two moles of ATP all the while.
• Oxidative phosphorylation produces 24-28 ATP atoms from the Kreb's cycle from one particle of glucose changed over into pyruvate.
• Two hypothetical methodologies applied to oxidative phosphorylation are metabolic control examination and nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
