How are electrons extracted from glucose? Oxygen, which you breathe in every time you take a breath, has a high affinity for electrons. Over MANY steps, glucose is processed and electrons are stripped and transferred to various molecules, eventually ending up with the oxygen you breathed in. We will go over the details of how oxygen gets the electrons from glucose in class. For now, which molecule involved in cellular respiration is reduced (gains electrons)? a. O2 b. CO2 c. H2O d. Glucose (C6H12O6)
Sri K.
In cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is completely broken down into CO2 and H2O. What type of synthesis reaction best describes this process? a. hydrolysis b. dehydration c. none of the above
Adi S.
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
