How do muscle cells use maltose?
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 compound does cellular respiration break down to release energy?
glucose and other food molecules
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.
Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
What in the mitochondria break down food molecules?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.So food we eat converted to glucose.
What must happen to glucose moleculs before respiration begins?
the glucose molecules must break down into two smaller molecules
ATP is invested in glycolysis to?
break glucose into two molecules
What step in respiration does glucose molecules break down?
Glycolysis
What does maltase break down?
two glucose molecules
Why do you have cellular respiration?
To break down Glucose molecules into ATP which can then used for energy.
How do cells use high calorie molecules such as glucose?
the glucose is break down in the cell by 1)glycolysis 2)preparation of pyruvic acid 3) kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle or CAC or tricarboxylic acid cycle 4)oxidative phosphorylation and after that ATP is produced which is the energy currency of our body
What do Cells use to break down glucose and store its energy in molecules of ATP?
oxygen :)
In a cycle of chemical reactions that break down glucose and produce ATP energizes electron carriers that pass the energized electrons on the electrons transport train?
Citric acid cycle :)
How many ATP molecules could be produced per glucose molecules fed to a poisoned animal?
38 ATP molecules are produced from the break down of a gluecose molecule
