Summary Introduction

To determine:

The overall chemical reaction for the oxidation of glucose and to explain the general process that is occurring.

Concept introduction:

The energy that we get is obtained from glucose. Glucose is broken down in cells partly in the cytosol and partly in the mitochondrion. The process of breakdown of glucose for the liberation of energy is done by cellular respiration. This process to a very large extent depends on the availability of oxygen as more oxygen is produced in the presence of oxygen and less energy is produced in the absence of oxygen.
