Vedclass · Answer

(D) In aerobic respiration,one molecule of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ is completely oxidized to produce $6$ molecules of $CO_2$ and $6$ molecules of $H_2O$.During the process of glycolysis,no $CO_2$ is released.During the link reaction (pyruvate decarboxylation),$2$ molecules of $CO_2$ are released (one per pyruvate).During the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle),$4$ molecules of $CO_2$ are released (two per acetyl-CoA).Therefore,the total number of $CO_2$ molecules released is $2 + 4 = 6$.

$1$. Succinic acid	$p$. $12$ $ATP$
$2$. Citric acid	$q$. $15$ $ATP$
$3$. Pyruvate	$r$. $9$ $ATP$
$4$. $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid	$s$. $5$ $ATP$
