Question

Look at the equation for cellular respiration and write in which stage of the process each molecule is either used or produced.

Answer 1

Answer:

Glucose -Glycolysis

6O2 -  pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

CO2 - kerbs cycle  

Water- electron transport chain.

ATP - glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation & kerb cycle

Explanation:

Glucose (C6H12O6) is used in Glycolysis

6O2 is used in pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

CO2 is produced in kerbs cycle in which 2 CO2 molecules are produced every single molecule of acetyl CoA

Water is produced in electron transport chain.

ATP is produced in following stages

a. The 6 ATP or 2 NADH molecules from glycolysis  

b. The 6 ATP or 2NADH molecules from pyruvate oxidation  

c. The 18 ATP or 6 NADH molecules from Krebs’ cycle  

d. The 4 ATP or 2 FADH2 molecules from Krebs’ cycle
