approximately twice as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate
Glucose is. In cell respiration, the carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized.

NAD is reduced during cellular respiration.
Glucose is. In cell respiration, the carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized.
NAD is reduced to NADH during cellular respiration.
Yes, NADH is oxidized to NAD during cellular respiration.
During cellular respiration, the substrate is oxidized by losing electrons and reduced by gaining electrons in a series of redox reactions.
Glucose is the primary substance that is oxidized during cellular respiration. It is broken down in a series of metabolic reactions to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells, through the process of oxidation.
Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.
When 1 gram of carbohydrate is oxidized, it produces approximately 4 kilocalories (kcal) of energy.
Glucose is oxidized in cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP. During the process, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water, releasing electrons that are used in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
cellular respiration uses oxygen but fermentation does not use oxygen
