Which Luciferin is broken down in cells controlled by?
an enzyme
What is the process in which the break down of sugars in living things returns carbon to the atmosphere as co2?
Cells first undergo glycolysis, where sugars are broken down into Pyruvic Acid. That pyruvic acid is used in two forms of processes: aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which use oxygen and no oxygen respectively. Aerobic Respiration is what the human body relies on since it creates the most ATP. [:
Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
Aged and damaged erythrocytes are broken down by the?
Age and damaged (senescent) red blood cells (erythrocytes) are broken down and recycled by the spleen, although the liver also plays an important role.
How do cells acquire food energy?
Cells aquire food energy through a process called cellular respiration. This can be aerobic (with Oxygen as the final electron acceptor) or anaerobic (with some other organic molecule like pyruvate as the final electron acceptor). Aerobic respiration can be further broken down into the steps of 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Krebs Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain It can also take place as photosynthesis but that is a slightly different mechanism Anaerobic Respiration can take place where there is no oxygen available(such as insidee muscles). This is called fermentation(yes the same kind we have to thank for alcohol...God bless anaerobic bacteria).
Do cells carry on respiration?
Yes. Because all cells need to release energy when food it broken down.
What chemical is broken down by respiration?
glucose is broken down by cellular respiration
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
What is made for cell during cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which food is broken down by the body's cells to produce energy in the form of ATP molecules. Cells use ATP to supply their energy needs. In plants, some of this ATP energy is used during photosynthesis to produce sugar. These sugars are in turn broken down during cellular respiration, continuing the cycle.
Why must food be digested?
Digestion is necessary because for energy from the food to be released and carried into the cells in our body the food must be broken down into soluble molecules for it to diffuse into the cells. Then energy is released during respiration.
How is glucose stored in leaves?
When glucose gets broken down in animals and plants during respiration, stored energy is released in cells.
What is broken down in the process of respiration?
Oxygen
When you respire your cells are undergoing a chemical reaction Glucose one of the reactants is being broken down or decomposed What is one of the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide is the most common respiration product
When you respire your cells are undergoing a chemical reaction. Glucose one of the reactants is being broken down or decomposed. What is one of the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide is the most common respiration product
What substance is broken down in the process of respiration?
Oxygen
How do products of anaerobic respiration cause you cells to be less efficient?
It is inefficient because the glucose in your muscles are not completely broken down, so only a small amount of energy is released for use in the cells. (Less ATP formed) Lactic acid also accumulates in the cells. This is eventually broken down into CO2 and H2O, but can take up to 30 minutes, depending on how fit you are. Lactic acid sits in your muscles and makes them stiff.
Is respiration in glucose broken down?
Yes it isGlucose is broken down into CO2 and H2O. Energy is stored in ATP
