Glucose can be burnt in air to form water and carbon dioxide or oxidised in biological organisms using the 'krebs cycle'
6o2 + c6h12o6 ---> 6co2 + 6h2o
The common pathway for oxidation of products of glucose and fatty acids catabolism is the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle). In this cycle, acetyl-CoA derived from both glucose (from glycolysis) and fatty acids (from beta-oxidation) is oxidized to produce NADH and FADH2, which are then used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.
oxidation of glucose, is the breakdown of glucose in ATP through four main process 1) glycolysis 2) preparation of pyruvic acid 3) citric acid cycle and 4) oxidative phosphorylation
glycolysis. (:
No, not all of the energy released by the oxidation of glucose is converted and stored in the form of ATP. Some of the energy is lost as heat during the process of cellular respiration. This heat is a byproduct of the metabolic reactions that break down glucose.
The oxidation number of carbon in glucose is +4. This is because in glucose (C6H12O6), each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2 and each hydrogen atom has an oxidation number of +1, so the carbon atoms must have an oxidation number of +4 in order to balance the overall charge of the molecule.
No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
The oxidation number of carbon (C) in glucose is +4. This is because in glucose (C6H12O6), each carbon atom is bonded to one oxygen atom, and oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, resulting in a higher oxidation state for carbon.
6o2 + c6h12o6 ---> 6co2 + 6h2o
In glucose (C6H12O6), the oxidation number of carbon is +4 or -4, oxygen is -2, and hydrogen is +1. The overall charge of the molecule is neutral.
The complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose produces 36-38 ATP. Therefore, the complete oxidation of 3 molecules of glucose would produce 108-114 ATP in total.
Glycolysis is NOT a pathway in the oxidation of glucose. Glycolysis is actually the first step in the breakdown of glucose and serves to produce pyruvate, which can then enter either the aerobic citric acid cycle or anaerobic fermentation pathways for further oxidation.

It is called aerobic respiration, oxidation is usage of oxygen .
oxidation of glucose, is the breakdown of glucose in ATP through four main process 1) glycolysis 2) preparation of pyruvic acid 3) citric acid cycle and 4) oxidative phosphorylation
Approximately 40% of the energy from the oxidation of glucose is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration. The rest of the energy is lost as heat.
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.
