Q. One mole glucose, on complete oxidation, yields energy

Chhattisgarh PMTChhattisgarh PMT 2004

Solution:

In aerobic respiration, oxygen is used and it completely oxidises the organic food mainly carbohydrates (sugars) to carbon dioxide and water. It, therefore, releases the entire energy in the form of a glucose
$C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}+60_{2} \rightarrow 6 C O _{2}+6 H _{2} O +$ Energy $(686$ kcal glucose)
