Question

What happens to glucose molecules in the following?

(1)Yeasts cells

(2)Muscles cells of man

(3)tissue cells of man

(a)Give the reactions and conditions needed for completions of it.(b)which conditions produce maximum energy?

Answer 1

1. In yeast cell the glucose molecules get fermented into ethyl alcohol and water. Some amount of energy is also released in this process.

2. In muscle cells when anaerobic respiration takes place, lactic acid is produced and energy is released.

3. In tissue cells of man glucose molecules get oxidized in presence of oxygen releasing carbon dioxide and huge amount of energy.
