If the oxidation of glucose can produce flames, as seen whenroasting a marshmallow over a campfire, why don’t we risk internalburns when we swallow a marshmallow and oxidize its glucose withcellular respiration?
| Oxidation is not taking place. The marshmallow is beingreduced. |
| The lining of our stomach prevents burning food from causingdamage to our bodies |
| Digestion of the marshmallow is an endergonic process,therefore, no energy is released |
| Cellular respiration releases the energy from the glucose insmall increments, rather than all at once. What does an enzyme change in a reaction? | the first law of thermodynamics. Which of the following does NOT describe ATP hydrolysis? | often coupled to a reaction that has a positiveΔG      |
