O2 consumed by an individual (CO2 exhaled in liters)/(O2 inhaled in liters). It is used as a measure of basal metabolic rate and can indicate which types of molecules are being used by a person to produce energy.  For glucose (C6H12O6), this value is 1 as the equation for the complete oxidation of glucose is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2  + 6 H2O

Question

O2 consumed by an individual (CO2 exhaled in liters)/(O2 inhaled in liters). It is used as a measure of basal metabolic rate and can indicate which types of molecules are being used by a person to produce energy.  For glucose (C6H12O6), this value is 1 as the equation for the complete oxidation of glucose is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2  + 6 H2O

If 4 of the COmolecules are produced by the citric acid cycle, which pathway or enzyme step is likely responsible for the production of the other 2 CO2 molecules produced during the complete oxidation of glucose by metabolism?


a) Gluconeogenesis
b) Glycolysis
c) Beta Oxidation
d) Urea Cycle
