Sugars are used by many chemoheterotrophs as an important source of carbon and energy. Indeed, complete oxidation of glucose using oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor has a free energy change of -2,883.0 kJ/mol. What strategy do cells use to minimize the amount of that energy that is lost as heat during the catabolism of sugars?Choose one:A. The oxidation reaction occurs within insulated organelles.B. Energy is harvested using a series of smaller oxidations.C. The cells employ high-capacity energy carriers (e.g., ΔG°' of hydrolysis ~ -1000 kJ/mol).D. Oxidations of sugars directly power membrane-bound ATP synthases.E. Oxidation is directly coupled to biomass synthesis.
