The part of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down is called the glycolysis. The chemical energy to produce ATP come from the breakdown of carbon based molecules into the smaller molecules.

What energy is release when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
ATP
What happens when chemical reactions break down glucose molecules into simpler substances and trap their stored energy in ATP?
It isn't. ATP is a considerably larger molecule than glucose. Although glucose is not literally broken down into ATP, the energy from the glucose molecule is transferred to ATP molecules. The energy in each ATP moelcule is much less than in a glucose molecule, and is a more convenient amount for the cell to use. Just think how a small denomination bill (£ or $) can be more convenient than a large one for small transactions.
What changes do chemical reactions involve in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds?
The bonds in a molecule can break and atoms can bond with other atoms.
Respiration and breathing are identical process?
false
Which substance can be broken down by a chemical change The answer is Hexane--but why?
Hexane is a compound. All chemical compounds can be broken down by chemical change (chemical reactions of many types) - not only hexane. All the other choices are elements which cannot be broken down by chemical changes.
How is a chemical bond usually broken?
Chemical bonds are both formed and broken during chemical reactions. For example, bonds are formed and broken in the synthesis reaction 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O. The bonds in both diatomic oxygen and hydrogen are broken, forming new bonds to form a water molecule.
Is ionic or covalent broken and formed in chemical reactions?
During chemical reactions bonds are broken.
What organic molecule is the energy to make ATP originally stored?
The energy to make ATP is originally stored in the form of glucose, a simple sugar molecule. Glucose is broken down through a series of chemical reactions in cellular respiration, ultimately producing ATP as the main energy currency for cells.
What chemical is released when chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
ATP
What happen during metabolism?
it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
In glycolysis many reactions occur what is the main outcome of these reactions?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
During glycolysis one molecule of is broken in half?
glucose
What is made up of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical reactions?
This is the definition of an element.
What happens during metabolism ATP?
it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
What part of metabolism uses ATP?
it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
What is a 6-carbon molecule that is broken down to make ATP?
glucose. it is broken in the cytoplasm
What is a chemical change in which a larger substance is broken down into smaller substances?
Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of one larger molecule into several smaller molecules.
