One mole glucose, on complete oxidation, yields energy

Question

One mole glucose, on complete oxidation, yields energy (A) 686 cal (B) 68,600 cal (C) 6,86,000 cal (D) 68,60,000 cal

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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} + 6 0_{2} \to 6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O +

Energy

(686

kcal glucose)
