The overall catabolic process of aerobic respiration uses glucose and oxygen (O2) as substrates. Which of the following statements CORRECTLY portrays aerobic respiration as a reduction-oxidation reaction? Both the carbon atoms in glucose and molecular O2 are reduced to CO2 and water, respectively. The carbon atoms in glucose are oxidized to CO2 and molecular O2 is reduced to H2O. Both the carbon atoms in glucose and molecular O2 are oxidized to CO2 and H2O, respectively. The carbon atoms in glucose are reduced to CO2 and molecular O2 is oxidized to H2O.

The complete reactions of cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen (C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy) result in which of the following? (The C6H12O6 becomes CO2 and the O2 becomes H2O): reduction of CO2 and oxidation of O2 oxidation of C6H12O6 and reduction of O2 reduction of C6H12O6 and oxidation of CO2 oxidation of O2 and reduction of H2O

Cellular respiration breaks down glucose and releases carbon dioxide and water. Which steps in the oxidation of pyruvate produces carbon dioxide? a. Removal of a carboxyl group from pyruvate releases carbon dioxide. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex comes into play. b. Removal of an acetyl group from pyruvate releases carbon dioxide. The pyruvate decarboxylase complex comes into play. c. Removal of a carbonyl group from pyruvate releases carbon dioxide. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex comes into play. d. Removal of an acetyl group from pyruvate releases carbon dioxide. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex comes into play
