(Accelerated only) During cell respiration, glucose is ____
|
|
reduced
|
|
|
oxidized
|
|
|
built and ends up with more energy
|
|
|
produced by photosynthesis

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized, and oxygen is reduced to form CO2 and water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : Complete oxidation of glucose occurs during aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -(iii) In the process of glycolysis, glucose molecules are oxidised to produce the molecules of pyruvate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm where one 6 carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to generate two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate. The fate of pyruvate depends on the presence or absence of mitochondria and oxygen in the cells.
