MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

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: -Glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide, water and energy in aerobic respiration. The excess energy gets stored in the cell in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration is one in which molecular oxygen is used for the complete oxidation of glucose to yield CO2, H2O and 38 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The oxidation of glucose refers to the breakdown of glucose into usable products such as ATP. To undergo oxidation, glucose passes through three different pathways-glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation via the electron transport chain.
