ATP and glucose are similar because they are both chemical sources of energy used by cells.
They are very different in terms of composition and structure. Glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only whereas ATP has phosphorus and nitrogen in addition to the aforementioned three elements. Also, glucose is different from ATP in that the glucose does not have an aromatic ring even if it has a six membered cyclic ring.

∙ 13y agoATP or adenosine Triphosphate is created during Cellular Aerobic Respiration. During Cellular Respiration, glucose (sugar) and oxygen is turned into Carbon Dioxide, water and ATP.
So ATP is formed from sugar or Glucose.

∙ 14y agoATP and Glucose are similar in the fact that they are used by cells (microscopic organisms inside all living things) for energy. Glucose is like food for cells, it is where they get there nutrients. When we eat food, like a sandwich, the sandwich gets broken down in our stomachs, and glucose (form of sugar from the food) enters our blood stream. Then it is used for the cells. ATP is a form of energy that is created by the cell itself. It has the same effect on the cell, but is easier to obtain.

The complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen yields how many molecules of ATP?
36 molecules by oxydative phosphorylation.
Which molecule stores more than 90 times the energy in ATP?
Glucose
A sugar which is broken down in a series of steps to gain the energy to make ATP is?
The process of producing ATP is called cellular respiration. This is done by breaking down glucose into carbon dioxide and water and releasing the chemical energy in the bonds.
Chief energy-storing molecules used by organisms?
So Easy...Its ATP
What does the Mitochondrion do in a plant cell?
It travels through the cell and bumps into other parts of the cell.
In glycolysis what is the ratio of glucose molecules to the net number ATP molecules at the end of the process?
1 glucose molecule = 38 ATP
Mitochondria produce ATP by?
They produce ATP by oxidizing Glucose. Energy is stored in glucose.
One molecule of glucose makes how many molecules of ATP?
The total ATP produced from one glucose is --------* (36/38) ATP
How is chemical energy in glucose similar to money in a saving account?
It receives ATP as interest. The body stores glucose to utilize energy when you need it. This is similar to saving money in an account until you need the money for something.
How is the chemical energy in glucose similar to money saving in a account?
It receives ATP as interest. The body stores glucose to utilize energy when you need it. This is similar to saving money in an account until you need the money for something.
How is the chemical energy in glucose similar to the money in savings account?
It receives ATP as interest. The body stores glucose to utilize energy when you need it. This is similar to saving money in an account until you need the money for something.
ATP and glucose different?
Yes. Glucose is a sugar, and it is a 6 carbon ring (C6H12O6). ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is composed of adenosine and 3 phosphates (PO4). ATP is a direct source of energy for the body. When you ingest glucose, it is converted to ATP before it is used.
Difference between ATP and carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are two different molecules with different purposes. Chemically ATP is different as it has nitrogen and phosphorus, which carbohydrates such as glucose do not. The chief difference involves the chemical pathway of respiration where glucose is a reactant, and ATP is ultimately the product.
What molecules has 90 times the energy of ATP?
Glucose
What is the main result of aerobic respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
Is ATP made of glucose?
No.
Glucose to glucose 6-phosphate. Irreversible. Hexokinase/gluckokinase. Requires ATP and Mg2?
