Question

Which of the following are the end products of the complete combustion of glucose?

• A. CO2 and starch
• B. Fructose and lactose
• C. H2O and mannose
• D. CO2 and H2O

Answer 1

Answer:

D. CO2 and H2O

• The complete combustion of glucose, which produces CO2 and H2O as end products, yields energy most of which is given out as heat.

• If this energy is to be useful to the cell, it should be able to utilise it to synthesise other molecules that the cell requires.
