Question

Under normal conditions, glucose is capable of undergoing a catabolic process: cellular respiration, in most cells of the body, including hepatocytes. What does this mean and what are the products? It is an energy yielding process, with the following products: 32 ATP and H20 It is an energy yielding process, with the following products: 2 ATP and lactate It is an energy requiring process, with the following products: 32 ATP and H20 It is an energy yielding process, with the following products: 36 ATP and H20

Explanation / Answer

Ans : It is an energy yielding process, with the following products 32 ATP and H2O

The metabolic process can be catabolic or anabolic. Anabolic is a energy requiring process whereas the catabolic is the one that yields energy in the form of ATP. In the presence of oxygen each glucose molecule gives 32 ATP moleclues and water as side products. The oxidation in the absence of oxygen gives lactate and 2 ATP.
