What chemical starts respiration?

glucose is oxidised in 2 ways -with oxygen (aerobic) -without oxygen(anaerobic) aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria . glucose in cytoplasm forms pyruvic acid is converted into carbon di oxide 38 ATP of energy and water anaerobic respiration may take place in muscle cells or RBCs in this glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in cytoplasm which changes to -lactic acid, water and 2 ATP of energy in muscle cells and RBCs -in yeast anaerobic respiration takes place pyruvic acid formed from glucose is converted to form alchohol and water as well as 2 ATP of energy

What is the difference between glucose and hexanoic acid?

The difference between glucose and hexanoic acid is that hexanoic acid has a higher Hydrogen per Carbon content than glucose. Because of the high Hydrogen per Carbon content, Hexanoic Acid produces more energy than Glucose when it goes through cellular respiration.


What is the word and symbol equation for Glucose Lactic acid Energy?

Glucose is converted to lactic acid in a process called anaerobic respiration. The word equation for this process is "Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy". The symbol equation for this reaction is C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3 + Energy.
