Question

The advantage to the cell of the gradual oxidation of glucose during cellular respiration compared with its combustion to co2 and h2o in a single step is that?

Answer 1

Advantage of Gradual glucose oxidation releases ATP,  the energy currency of the cell systems. Cells are capable of storing small amount of ATP and therefore, gradual oxidation provides with energy supply for a comparably longer duration releasing only small amount of ATP at a time. That gets utilized for cellular activities and gradual glucose oxidation releases more ATP to restore them.

The process of oxidizing glucose includes formation of Catabolic pathway during which a 6 carbon glucose molecule is split into two 3 carbon sugars which are then oxidized and rearranged by a step-wise metabolic process that produces two molecules of pyruvic acid.
