The cells change maltose into energy.
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Muscle cells do not directly use maltose as an energy source. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked together. Muscle cells break down maltose into its constituent glucose molecules with the help of the enzyme maltase. These glucose molecules are then used by muscle cells for energy production through processes like glycolysis and cellular respiration.

What are the uses of maltose?
Maltase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to glucose. Examples of this include cooked sweet potatoes, and molasses.
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What cell contains most mitochondria?
Muscle cells.Metabolically very active cells. Muscle cells,heart cells have lot of mitochondria
What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
Is glycogen stored in muscle cells is used primarily to provide glucose for red blood cells?
Doubtful. One would think that any glycogen stored in muscle cells would be producing mitochondrial ATP for use in the sarcomere, the muscle contraction unit.
How do muscle cells use fat cells when they burn?
Muscle cells don't use fat cells when they are burned. An increase in muscle can raise the metabolism causing the muscle cells to burn off the fat cells in storage.
During exercise muscle cells use what?
During exercise muscle cells use oxygen.
Is maltose a steroid?
Maltose is not a steroid. It is a complex carbohydrate useful for those who are working out and trying to build muscle.
Why do muscle cells have the most mitochondria in your body?
muscle cells use this myosin heads that use ATP to contract. the enery needed (ATP) is provided by the bast amount of mitochondria. Which is why muscle cells need so much of them.
How do muscle cells use energy?
Since the mitochondria produces energy and the muscle cells are part of the mitochondria, they use the energy so they can move the joints.
What are the uses of maltose?
Maltase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to glucose. Examples of this include cooked sweet potatoes, and molasses.
How are human smooth muscle cells similar to human nerve cells?
All muscle cells and nerve cells use an action potential and also obey the all-or-none law
The digestion of maltose involves the?
The digestion of maltose involves the action of the enzyme maltase. The product is glucose.
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What cells use the oxygen and food produced by plants?
very rougly, muscle cells.
how do nerve cells and muscle cells work?
Nerve cells and muscle cells are excitable. Their cell membrane can produce electrochemical impulses and conduct them along the membrane. In muscle cells, this electric phenomenon is also associated with the contraction of the cell. Thank you, regards (me).
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep muscle?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
