Hello.
00:01
In this question it has been asked during glucose oxidation what happens to the carbon atoms in glucose.
00:07
Okay, so this is the reaction.
00:09
So during oxidation, we have one molecule of glucose reacting with six molecules of oxygen to give six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water.
00:19
Okay, this also releases a large amount of energy.
00:22
Okay, this is also called as respiration, right? now during glucose oxidation, glucose reacts with molecule oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
00:30
So the glucose is given out as the atoms of the glucose are given out as carbon dioxide.
00:37
This will be the correct answer.
00:39
So option a is the correct answer.
00:43
So what happens to the carbon atoms at glucose? they are given off as carbon dioxide.
00:48
So we can see here there is a complete conversion.
00:50
So there are six atoms of carbon on the left hand side and six atoms of carbon on the right hand side as well...
