In biological cells that have a plentiful supply of O(2), glucose is oxidized completely to CO(2) and H(2)O by a process called aerobic oxidation. Muscle cells may be deprived of O(2) durring vigorous exercise and, in that case, one molecule of glucose is converted to two molecules of latic acid CH(3)CHOHCOOH by a process called anaerobic glycolysis. What is the biological advantage (in KJ/mol of energy released as heat) of complete aerobic oxidation compared with anaerobic glycolysis to latic acid?
