The first step is breaking down of glucose as a six carbon molecule into a three carbon molecule is called pyruvate may be converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide .this process take place in yeast during fermentation

∙ 12y agothere r 3 such ways .....
1.absense of oxygen (in yeast )- the glucose which is a 6 carbon molecule is converted into 3 carbon molecule called PYRUVATE ......in cytoplasm......
now this pyruvate is converted into ethanol co2 n energy.....this process is also called as fermentation
2.lack of oxygen(muscle cell)-when the pyruvate is oxidised in this way........lactic acid n low amount of energy is formed.......it is called anaereobic respiration.......
3.presence of oxygen(mitochondria)-when pyruvate is completely oxidised..it forms co2 H2O n energy......it is also called as aerobic way of respiration..........

What is glucose oxidation?
Glucose can be burnt in air to form water and carbon dioxide or oxidised in biological organisms using the 'krebs cycle'
What macromolecule provide immediate energy?
glucose
Why do the sells need glucose?
Glucose provide the energy the cells need to work.
What burns food to provide energy for cell activities?
The mitochrodion burns glucose, which gives off energy to the cell.
Does proteins provide energy ture or false?
Yes they can provide energy. That happens when glucose level is low
What will happens when glucose is completely oxidised in the body of an organism.?
not all organisms completely oxidise the glucose. it depends on whether they undergo aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiraion. in aerobic respiration glucose is completey oxidised to give out CO2 as a waste product and H2O and energy. this can be represented as Glucose------>pyruvate------> CO2 + H2O + 36 ATP Energy
What reaction involves glucose and takes place in all body cells?
Respiration ...... Glucose is oxidised by reacting it with oxygen to give out carbondioxide, water and energy.. C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
How do cells acquire energy?
By the process of respiration. In this process, glucose is oxidised to carbon dioxide and water (aerobic) and ATP is produced. (ATP is the energy currency of cells)

What does meat provide to your cells?
Glucose, which is turned into energy.
What does glucose supply the cell with?
Glucose is a supplier of energy to the cells. Cells use the glucose as well as fats for fuel.
