Plants (and some protists and bacteria) take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make glucose through photosynthesis. They are then eaten by other organisms that break down the glucose for energy and carbon building blocks. Glucose is only in the food chain when the producer is eaten. The energy and matter is then passed on from the consumer in other chemical forms as they are eaten.

How many NADH enter the electron transport chain?
30 from one glucose molecule breakdown
How does energy enter this food chain?
It originates from the sun and enters the food chain when plants absorb it for photosynethis.
How did DDT enter the food chain?
DDT entered the food chain because it was in the water of the fish that bald eagles ate.
How does nitrogen enter the food chain?
through special types of bacteria in the soil.
Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of carbon dioxide?
food moleculesPrimary substrate is glucose.Other molecules can enter into chain in later parts
What food chain or food chain does a greman sheperds fit into?
If you have a seeing eye dog almost all restaurants pr food stores will allow the dog to enter. If you do not, then no restaurant or food store will allow a dog inside. No, the german shepard fits in to a domestique food chain.
Do glucose and water enter the filtrate?
no glucose does not
How does glucose normally enter the blood?
Like most nutrients, glucose sugar is absorbed into the blood stream through the walls of the small intestine from the food one eats.
Is a crab a consumer or producer?
Crabs do not have the chloroplasts necessary to produce glucose via photosynthesis. Therefore, they are considered a consumer in the food chain.
Is the Arctic fox an autotroph or hetotroph?
Hetotroph of course! Autotroph only for organisms that gain food by producing it such as green plants that produce glucose by photosynthesis, also known as producer in food chain. While Hetotroph obtain food from other organisms and known as consumer in food chain.
What provides an animal with the energy it needs?
all organisms receive their energy from respiration, a process that requires glucose and oxygen. Animals get the oxygen from the air they breathe in. The glucose is obtained from food, either other animals or plants. All the glucose in animals originated in plants that produce glucose in photosynthesis, and the glucose has been passed down the food chain.
Why do glycogen starch and cellulose have different functions?
starch: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) Cellulose: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by a beta 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) glycogen: made up of a long chain of glucose bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. However, the glycogen chain of glucoses is a branched chain- it is not one straight chain, it branches out starch is stored as glucose in plants glycogen is stored as glucose in animals cellulose is used as the cell wall of plants
