Well in respiration in mammals the first stage of respiration is called glycolysis which is the break down of glucose to pyruvic acid which makes a by-product of 36 ATP which go on to the second stage of carbon fixation. Not sure if thats what u mean hope I helped.

If the human body were a car glucose would be?
Glucose would be the gasoline for the car.
How many ATP and NADH molecules are produced from each molecule of glucose in the citric acid cycle only?
In my textbook it says that 1 molecule of ATP and 3 molecules of NADH are made from 1 molecule of pyruvate, via the citric acid cycle. However, since the question is asking for 1 molecule of GLUCOSE, the answer would be 2 ATP and 6 NADH since the oxidation of glucose produces TWO molecules of pyruvate, the amount of ATP and NADH would have to be doubled. I actually have this EXACT question on my exam... hmmm... do I know you by chance? o__O
What happen to pyruvic acid molecule in the mitochondrial matrix?
Pyruvic acid (CH3COCOOH) is an organic acid. It is also a ketone, as well as being the simplest alpha-keto acid. The carboxylate (COOH) ion (anion) of pyruvic acid, CH3COCOO-, is known as pyruvate, and is a key intersection in several metabolic pathways. It can be made from glucose through glycolysis, supplies energy to living cells in the citric acid cycle, and can also be converted to carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis, to fatty acids or energy through acetyl-CoA, to the amino acid alanine and to ethanol.
Energy conversion within an animal cell would be severely limited by removal of what part of the cell?
Mitochondria. Reason : Mitochondria is the power house of a cell; the oxidation of glucose in it produces energy in the form of ATP. So its removal will cause the cell to have no organ left to produce energy for its existence.
How does sugar keep cut flowers alive?
Sugar contains glucose, so the plant can use it as a substitute for the glucose it would normally produce through photosynthesis.
What is terminal oxidation?
Terminal oxidation is oxidation on the end of a molecule. An example would be oxidation of a terminal carbon atom in a carbon chain.
What is the oxidation number of Be?
oxidation is charge and it would be positive two in a ionic bond (that is what is referring to in oxidation number)
What is the oxidation number of ferric oxide?
The oxidation number for Fe would be 3+ and for oxygen it would be 2-. This would be Fe2O3
What is the oxidation number of Mn2?
The oxidation number of Mn in the molecule Mn2 would be 0.
What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.
If the human body were a car glucose would be?
Glucose would be the gasoline for the car.
How do you solve for the oxidation number of a chlorate ion?
The chlorate ion is ClO3-. Some text books say that the oxidation number of the whole ion is equal to the charge, so in this cas it would be -1. However most teachers would sya that oxidation numbers only refer to atoms. So working out the oxidation numbers:- oxygen is -2, (using the rule, or if you use the he electronegativity method- gives the same answer as O is more electronegatoive than Cl) the sum of oxidation numbers of Cl and O are -1 (the charge on the ion) - I'll call the oxidation number of Cl OxCl -1 =OxCl + (3* -2)= OxCl -6 therefore OxCl = +5
Does oxygen ever have a 3- oxidation number?
No, oxygen will never have a -3 oxidation number. If it had a -3 oxidation number, it would not have a full octet. It would have a +1 charge, therefore making it not happy.
What is a elements oxidation number?
A neutral atom has an oxidation number of 0. An anion has a negative oxidation number. The oxidation number of a cation is positive.
What is a benefit to some bacteria that use alcoholic fermentation?
The benefit to using some bacteria for alcohol fermentation is that the bacteria will convert the sugars in the alcohol and carbon dioxide. The sugar will break down to form pyruvic acid and then into ethanol. Without the bacteria, the sugars or glucose would not break down properly, and the fermentation will not work.
After surgery what glucose solution would be given intravenously?
you will be given glucose you will be given glucose
What is the oxidation number for Br in BrO3-?
If Br had an oxidation number of +7, the net charge on the ion would be +1, and not -1. Thus, the oxidation number for Br in BrO3- should be 5+.
