You are a carbon atom. You are having a wonderful (or awful) life, bonded to
your 5 closest friends (or enemies) in a great (or evil) glucose molecule. But your cell
needs you. It requires the energy glucose contains, which means your molecule must go
through the process of cellular respiration, in which your molecule is broken into 6
separate carbon dioxide molecules. Sounds noble, but personally devastating.
Please describe each step of cellular respiration that leads to destruction of the glucose
molecule. For each step, you must discuss the molecules involved, such as ATP, electron
carriers etc. You must discuss what is removed at each step and what is left to move to
the next step. For this question, you do not need to go into detail about the exact names of
the enzymes that facilitate each step.
