The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Glucose Combusting

Episode 55 recAPs the gummy bear experiment with potassium chloride - combustion! Combustion reactions are one subclass of oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox reactions for short. (1:00) Why aren’t our cells bursting into flames during cellular respiration?(4:08) Glucose is gradually oxidized through several steps during the process of glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the Krebs cycle (5:37).The Question of the Day asks (8:03) Glucose is oxidized, what molecule is reduced in cellular respiration?Thank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: Biology Edition!(AP is a registered trademark of the College Board and is not affiliated with The APsolute RecAP.
