Question

To extract energy from carbohydrates, glucose is oxidized through several metabolic processes, resulting in end products of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Choose the item that has the steps involved in glucose oxidation in the correct order. (Assume an aerobic environment is present.)

Answer 1

Answer:the item that has steps involved in glucose oxidation in an aerobic environment is ATP.

CH12O6 + 6O2 + 36Pi^-1 + 36ADP^3- + 35H^+ = 6CO2 + 36ATP^4- + 42H2O

Explanation:

Aerobic oxidation of glucose is coupled to the synthesis of as many as 36 molecules of ATP: Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve molecular O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate.
