Q. When one molecule of glucose is completely oxidized during aerobic respiration, how many molecules of carbon dioxide are released due to tricarboxylic acid cycle?

EAMCETEAMCET 2003

Solution:

Six $ C{{O}_{2}} $ molecules are released by complete oxidation of one glucose molecule. Two $ C{{O}_{2}} $ molecules are released during oxidative decarboxylation reaction and four $ C{{O}_{2}} $ molecules are released in Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic cycle.
