Question

Which one is not correct for oxidation of food?

• A. It is multiple process
• B. All released energy is traped in form of ATP
• C. Traped energy is further used for bio synthesis of other molecules
• D. Oxidisable compound is known as respiratory substrate

Answer 1

The correct option is B All released energy is traped in form of ATP

During the oxidation of carbon atoms from complex organic food molecule, carbon dioxide is released as a waste product. The energy released from these reactions is not used up by the cells completely. Alternatively, it is converted into ATP and NADH, and this can be used throughout the cell to power metabolism and construct new cellular components. In addition, workhorse proteins called enzymes use this chemical energy to catalyze chemical reactions within the cell.

So, the correct option is 'All released energy is trapped in form of ATP'.
