Question

Is glucose a reactant in the aerobic stages of cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration:

Aerobic respiration is the burning or oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy (ATP).

Anaerobic respiration:

Whereas, anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen.

Glucose is a reactant in the anaerobic stages of cellular respiration

1. Yes, glucose is a reactant in the anaerobic stages of cellular respiration.
2. The first phase of cellular respiration, glycolysis, uses glucose as a reactant.
