Glucose is the starting molecule for which reaction?

Glucose is the starting molecule for cellular respiration, a series of metabolic reactions that generate ATP, the primary energy source for cells. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in a series of steps to produce energy in the form of ATP.


Which generates more energy from the sugar molecule aerobic or anaerobic cellular respiration?

Aerobic cellular respiration produces a net gain of 36 ATP per glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration produces a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecules.Aerobic cellular respiration produces 15 times more energy from sugar than anaerobic cellular respiration. :-)


Cellular respiration uses one molecule of glucose to produce?

Cellular respiration uses one molecule of glucose to produce 36-38 molecules of ATP, as well as carbon dioxide and water. The process involves glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.


Does Cellular respiration produces more ATP molecules than fermentation does?

Yes, cellular respiration produces significantly more ATP molecules compared to fermentation. Cellular respiration can generate up to 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, while fermentation typically produces only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. This difference is due to the more efficient energy-harvesting processes involved in cellular respiration.


What term best describes carbon dioxide in cellular respiration?

CO2 serves as an end product that is released from body tissues (cells) after cellular respiration is used to release the energy from an ATP molecule.
