If the oxidation of glucose can produce flames, as seen when roasting a marshmallow over a campfire, why don’t we risk internal burns when we swallow a marshmallow and oxidize its glucose with cellular respiration?
| Oxidation is not taking place. The marshmallow is being reduced. |
| The lining of our stomach prevents burning food from causing damage to our bodies |
| Digestion of the marshmallow is an endergonic process, therefore, no energy is released |
| Cellular respiration releases the energy from the glucose in
small increments, rather than all at once.
What does an enzyme change in a reaction?
