What happens when starch boiled?
Starch is energy for our body, glucose can not be stored so it is stored as starch, but before this starch can be used as energy to our body, it must be turned back into glucose, this is done by amylase, it breaks down the starch back into glucose so it can be used.
What major fuel is used for the cell's activities in the human body?
Cells primarily use carbohydrates, especially glucose, which is broken down during cellular respiration, forming molecules of ATP, which are used by the cells in order to get energy to do work (cellular activities). Cells get energy from ATP molecules when they are broken down into ADP and P, which releases energy.
Why does your body need to break down starch into sugar?
To absorb something in the blood the molecule has to be small and dis solvable. Glucose is very small and can be easily absorbed in the blood but starch molecules are very big. Really many glucose molecules put together form a starch molecule. Be cause starch is so big the enzymes have to cut it down so that it can be digested into the body. This is why starch molecules have to be broken down into glucose for digestion in animals.
What two molecules are used to make glucose?
Sucrose and Lactose. Sucrose is made from glucose and fructose, and Lactose is made from glucose and galactose. Hope this helps! (:
Glucose may be used in the body to?
Glucose is used by the body as a primary source of energy. Red blood cells and neurones rely entirely on glucose for energy. Excess amounts of glucose in the body is converted to glucogon or fat and stored for later use.
What is another term for glucose molecules?
Monosaccharide is another term that is used to describe the glucose molecules.
What molecules is used in cells and energy?
glucose
What pair of the molecules is used by the mitochondria?
Glucose and Oxygen is used. These are used generate energy.
Ways in which glucose is used?
glucose is used for energy so the body can function
What happens to the energy of glucose that is not used to nake atp molecules?
The energy not used to make ATP molecules generates heat.
How many 3-carbon molecules are used to make glucose?
Two moleculesThe structure of glucose is C6H12O6

Do glucose make up carbohydrates?
Glucose is a carbohydrate it's a form of sugar molecule, while starch is a chain of glucose
How many molecules of CO2 used to produce one glucose?
4
