Question

Write an equation showing oxidation of food during aerobic respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+Energy(ATP)

Answer 2

Answer:

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O + 38 ADP +38 P è 6CO2 + 12H2O + 38 ATP + Energy

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration has four stages,Glycolysis,formation of Acetyl Co enzyme,Citric acid cycle or TCA,Electron transport chain

Glycolysis this process carry out in the cytoplasm of a cell.Glucose molecule is converted to pyruvate.In order to get energy for this process 2 molecules of ATP are used up.Pyruvate oxidised to carbon dioxide released as a waste product.In citric acid cycle glucose molecules binds with oxaloacetate to form citrate.The electrons removed from the glycolysis and citric acid cycle act as cytochrome in mitochondrial membrane.
