Question

Which describes an oxidation reaction that occurs during cellular respiration?

A.Glucose loses electrons and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide.
B.Water loses electrons and hydrogen to form oxygen.
C.Oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen to form water.
D.Carbon dioxide gains electrons and hydrogen to form glucose.

Answer 1

A
glucose + oxygen = water +carbon dioxide + ATP energy
oxidation process losses electron so it is A

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A."Glucose loses electrons and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide".

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxidation reaction is characterized by a reactant losing electrons, which results in the reactant having an oxidized state. An example of oxidation reaction that occurs during cellular respiration is glucose losing electrons and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce ATP and carbon dioxide as byproduct. During the reaction glucose reacts directly with oxygen, which makes glucose into a higher oxidized state.
