One is transfer of energy in chlorophyll. The other is transfer of electrons, which happen in photochemical reactions. Another is transport chain for electrons and synthesis of ATP. The final process concerns carbon fixation and release of products.

Approximately what percentage of the energy of glucose C6H12O6 is transferred to storage in ATP as a result of the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water in cellular respiration?
40%
What is the difference between oxidation and hydrolysis?
Oxidation is a reaction in which an atom, molecule or compound loses an electron. OIL = Oxidation Is Lost; RIG= Reduction Is Gain LEO = Lose Electron in Oxidation; GER = Gain Electron in Reduction (LEO the lion says GER) Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule or compound is broken down, by the addition of a water molecule (it is NOT the breaking of a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen - that is a different reaction called electrolysis). An example of hydrolysis is the breaking down of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. A molecule of water is added, usually with an acid to catalyse the reaction, into a solution of maltose. You can therefore say that hydrolysis is a type of oxidation reaction, being as maltose loses glucose molecule (hence losing the electrons in the atoms of glucose).
What are the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration?
The two main processes of Photosynthesis are Light Dependent and Light Independent (dark Reactions).
Write the equation for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Water + Carbon Dioxide = Glucose (Plant sugar)
Why is water useful in body process?
We need water because our body needs engry in the form of glucose. When two glucose combins it called as disuccharid it's not glucose. So the process of turning them into glucose is done by the water.
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 kind of reaction occurs when a molecule of glucose reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water?
Respiration.
What percentage of the energy of glucose is transferred to storage in ATP as a result of the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water in cellular respiration?
approximately 40%
What percentage of the energy of glucose is transferred to the storage of ATP as a result of the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water in cellular respiration?
it's about 40%

What is difference in energy produced in biological oxidation and chemical oxidation of glucose?
Glucose getconvertedto carbon bi oxide and water molecule, during oxidation in both the biological oxidation and chemical oxidation. One glucose molecule gives 6 carbon bi oxide and 6 water molecules.(C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + H2O.) In biological oxidation glucose is broken down in step wise manner. In about 22 steps, energy is released. So cell does not get burned due to sudden release of energy. So this is like, you come down from the two story building via staircase, step by step. So you do notinjure yourself. In chemical oxidation glucose burn in one step only. So it is like jumping from the two story building. You will get injured. In biological oxidation, you get the intermediate products of low energy. (At few times high energy.) As ultimate products of both biological oxidation and chemical oxidation are same, the energy released is same. Not a photon more or less, provided temperature of glucose and temperature and pressure of end products is same. In biological oxidation, you get some energy stored in body in the form of ATP molecules. Which is utilized for various metabolic processes, required by cell. Rest is released in the form of heat. That is also useful to maintain body temperature. This is in accordance to the Law ofconservationof energy in chemical reactions. It remains constant and can change the form of energy.
What molecule is produced in the citric acid cycle as a by product of glucose oxidation and is subsequently released into the bloodstream and carried to the lungs where it is removed from the body?
water

How is the oxidation of glucose in cell respiration similar to the burning of that substance in air?
The final products are carbon dioxide and water, and the total energy released is the same.
Besides energy what are end products of cellular oxidation of carbohydrates?
Carbon dioxide and water. C6H1206 (glucose) + 6O2 (atmospheric oxygen) ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O (and energy)
What is the written word equation for the processes that stores carbon dioxide?
hey there Glucose+oxygen=>carbon dioxide+water or the environmental one hydrocarbon+oxygen=>carbon dioxide+water
In a solution of glucose in water what is glucose?
Glucose is the solute; water is the solvent.
