What is difference in energy produced in biological oxidation and chemical oxidation of glucose?
DrAshokDeshmukh
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.

Is discharging a battery a chemical change?
When you use a battery the electric current is produced by a chemical change within the battery. In rechargeable batteries the chemical reaction is reversed by the recharging current, and it's then ready to supply more current
What is the difference between chemical and chemical technology?
Chemical technology would be the application of these principals in a more practical waymaterials produced by or used in a reaction involving changes in atoms or molecules is called chemical
What cause chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering of rocks is caused by a chemical reaction. Factors such as dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rocks are factors of chemical weathering.
Is acetic acid produced by the oxidation of ethanol?
Acetic Acid.
What is chemical energy and how is energy formed?
Chemical energy is produced through reactions that occur in chemical compounds. A chemical compound is a simple collection of many atoms that are bound to each other. As the bonds between these atoms loosens or breaks, a chemical reaction will occur, and new compounds are created. When the bonds break or loosen, oxidation occurs almost instantly.
What is the difference between siliciclastic and chemical or biochemical sedimentary rocks?
1) Chemical and biological sedimentary rocks are produced by chemical weathering instead of the siliciclastic sediments which are created by physical weathering. Because physical weathering is much more often than the chemical weathering there are 10 times more clastic sediments in the earth's crust than chemical and biological sediments.
Which of these is the best definition for interferon?
a chemical produced by the body to fight viral infections
How are muscle cells produced?
Half of your muscle cells are made by your biological mother. As you eat, the chemical energy in food converts into muscle.

What is the difference between a chemical reaction and a product in a chemical equation?
The reactants are the substances that undergo the chemical reaction, and are shown on the left side of a chemical equation. The products are produced by the chemical reaction, and are shown on the right side of the chemical equation.

Chemical weathering of rocks is caused by a chemical reaction. Factors such as dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rocks are factors of chemical weathering.
Is acetic acid produced by the oxidation of ethanol?
Acetic Acid.
What are three things that chemical equations can tell you about a chemical reaction?
A chemical equation tells you what substances are reacting, what substances are produced and, in a balanced equation, provides the coefficients to tell us in what ratio the substances react or are produced.

What processes occur in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
In both, ATP is produced. In Fermentation, each turn of the cycle produces 2 ATP, and in Aerobic Cellular Respiration, each turn of the cycle produces 38 ATP. You can see which one works better...the huge difference in the number of ATP produced.
What are elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction?
products are produced after a chemical reaction.
