pancreas since it is sugar
_______
The pancreas doest not break down glucose. Digestion of sugars start at the mouth where salivary amylase begins to act on starch. The digestion of the rest of the sugars occurs in the duodenum of the small intestine. The result of digestion is a mass of simple sugars like glucose. Then on the cellular level, glucose is first broken down in the cytoplasm via glycolysis. The products are then directed to the inter-membrane space where the Krebs Cycle occurs. Finally, the electron transport chain within the mitochondria will deliver the highest output of ATP using the products of both glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle.
So in short, glucose is actually broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell.

(This is backwards... Carbon Dioxide and Water are the raw material to make the Glucose and Oxygen... Thus CO2 + H2O=C6H12O6 + O2)

What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
A 12 carbon long fatty acid is catabolized by B-oxidation What is the final net yield of ATP?
12 carbon long fatty acid is catabolized by B-oxidation. What is the final net yield of ATP? ________ just give the number with no words
What substance does glycolysis break down?
Glucose, of course.
How do you make a maltose from two glucose molecules?
Glucose and Glucose
What contains more energy glucose or pyruvate?
glucose
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
When glucose is catabolized under aerobic conditions will cross the mitochondrial wall and enter the Kreb's cycle?
pyruvic acid
During glycolosis when glucose is catabolized to pyruvate most of the energy of glucose is?
Retained in the two pyruvates produced by glycolysis.
How is lactose catabolized via the glycolytic pathway?
Lactose is metabolized by the enzyme beta-galactosidase giving one molecule of galactose and one molecule of glucose.
How many ATP are produced when 121 glucose are catabolized aerobically by liver cells?
4114 ATP molecules. Because 1 Glucose can make 34 ATP molecules so 121*34=4114. Good luck !
Which macronutrient can be catabolized for energy in absence of oxygen?
carbohydrate
Is glucose the only molecule that can be catabolized during cellular respiration?
No, normally your body is capable of converting many substances into TCA chain precursors. The foods that supply calories are catabolized during cellular respiration. These include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Some people are unable to digest lactose which is a sugar from milk.
A 12 carbon long fatty acid is catabolized by B-oxidation What is the final net yield of ATP?
12 carbon long fatty acid is catabolized by B-oxidation. What is the final net yield of ATP? ________ just give the number with no words
How does the body breakdown carbohrydrates?
Carbohydrates such as glucose for example are catabolized(break down) by certain metabolic pathways. Glycolysis pathway is the first step where glucose is converted to pyruvate. Subsequently, pyruvate undergo Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain to synthesis energy or ATP molecules. Disaccharide (sucrose as example) or Polysaccharides such as Glycogen are first converted to its monomeric forms such as glucose, fructose, galactose etc. before entering the above said pathways.
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
If a beaker contains glucose and is permeable to glucose what will happen to the glucose?
If a beaker containing glucose is permeable to glucose, then the glucose will go through the beaker.
Can you use glucose in a recipe that calls for liquid glucose?
glucose? i think glucose is a different thing than liquid glucose.
