Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glucose is ____ during cell respiration
A
reduced
B
oxidized
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During aerobic respiration, the oxygen taken in by a cell combines with glucose to produce energy in the form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the cell expels carbon dioxide and water. This is an oxidation reaction in which glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. this is known as oxidation.

Detailed explanation-2: -In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized, and oxygen is reduced to form CO2 and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is an oxidative process whereby an electron donor is oxidized and oxygen is reduced to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy [3].

Detailed explanation-4: -There is one redox reaction during glycolysis. The oxidation of glucose begins during glycolysis. NAD+ accepts the electrons during the oxidation, and as a result it gets reduced. A total of 2 NADH are produced.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Glucose gets partially oxidized in anaerobic respiration. Q. During the respiration of an organism A, 1 molecule of glucose produces 2 ATP molecules whereas, in the respiration of another organism B, 1 molecule of glucose produces 38 ATP molecules.
