Answer:
statement best describes the total number of carbon atoms during cellular
respiration in the fish is :
The total number of carbon atoms stays the same because the carbon from the carbon-containing food molecules is used to make molecules such as carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Respiration : It is a process in which energy from the "food" molecule is released in the form of ATP
ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate
There are two kind of respiration process:
1. In the presence of O2 = Aerobic Oxidation
2. In the absence of O2 = Anaerobic Oxidation
The breakdown of food into CO2 occur by three main process:
Glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Phosphorylation
The reaction for the Decomposition of the Glucose molecule is written as:
It is a oxidation - reduction reaction(Redox).
Here one substance is oxidised and other is reduced.
The number of Carbon atoms in reactant =6
It will produce = 6 CO2 in which the number of C=6
Hence ,
The total number of carbon atoms stays the same because the carbon from the carbon-containing food molecules is used to make molecules such as carbon dioxide
