Resperation
When the starch is broken down, or hydrolyzed, the end product is glucose molecules.
Glucose! science! Band 1! I know who you are!
The energy stored in the glucose molecule gets transferred to molecules of ATP.
Lipids can be things like fats produced by animals, and are mostly composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, they are hydrophobic (doesn't mix well with water) and cannot be easily broken down. Starches on the other hand are formed by plants as a way to store the large amounts of glucose produced during photosynthesis and mix pretty well with water, making then hydrophollic.They can be broken down into individual glucose molecules.
Resperation
It means that when one molecule of glucose is completely broken down by the process of aerobic cellular respiration, 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
That energy is stored in ATP. ATP is the currency of energy.
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
First stage only.
The monomer that is formed when starch is broken down is GLUCOSE.

A. Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
Water and carbon dioxide, ATP is produced as well
2 ATPs are used to break Glucose down into two molecules of pyruvate. And 2 NAD+ become NADH and 4 ATP are produced. Giving you a net product of 2 NADH and 2 ATPs and 2 molecules of pyruvate.
2 ATP molecules are used to break the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. Then the pyruvate travels to the mitochondria, where it is broken down further and produces 34 ATP molecules, which are used to power a cell.
Yes. The starch molecule is a string of glucose molecules. When eaten, the starch is broken down by enzymes into individual glucose molecules. Glucose is the human body's primary source of energy.
