How does carbon cycle in Earths system?
The carbon cycle is when plants convert carbon dioxide, CO2, from the atmosphere into carbohydrates, such as glucose, C6H12O6. Then, organisms eat the plants and obtain the carbon from the carbohydrates. Next, organisms' bodies break down the carbohydrates and release some of the carbon back into the air as CO2.
Why do organisms needed to carry out the process of respiration?
Organisms need to carry out the process of respiration because the cells in the organisms break down simple food molecules and release their energy.
The body breaks down during cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed.
Cells break down carbohydrates to absorb energy and form ATP?
No, they do it to release energy.
Why is more energy required for the body to process complex carbohydrates than simple carbohydrates?
Because it takes energy to break down complex carbs into a form the body can use to make ATP.
Breaking down carbohydrates to release energy?
The two organisms that break down carbohydrates to release energy from cells are autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs trap sunlight and store it in carbohydrates.
How energy from the sun is transferred through organisms?
First, energy from the sun is used to combine CO2 and water to make carbohydrates. The carbohydrates have stored energy that is released when the carbohydrates are broken down. When animals eat the plant and break down the carbohydrates, they receive energy. In turn, carnivores that eat those animals receive energy from the fats and proteins in their prey.
What happens to carbohydrates during cellular respiration?
Cells take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrates and release the energy.

What does the body uses to release energy from food?
Enzymes to break down proteins and carbohydrates, absorption in the gut (intestines etc)
Do carbohydrates allow animals to conserve heat?
Carbohidrates are the easiest molecules to break, and when you break molecules you release energy, and heat. So heat is conserved in a molecule, in a way.
Why do organisms needed to carry out the process of respiration?
Organisms need to carry out the process of respiration because the cells in the organisms break down simple food molecules and release their energy.
For what do cells use glucose?
identify one way cells can use glucose
Three ways for organisms to get energy?
chemical energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy
What is the name of the process by which all organisms break down energy-containing molecules within their tissues to release energy?
The process organisms use to break down food is called metabolism. ATP, the universal energy currency of cells, is used to transfer chemical energy between different chemical reactions.
Does kiwi have energy?
Yes. All fruits and vegetables contain carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are broken down in the body to produce energy, although some are more efficient than others. That is, complex carbohydrates, ie those found in high fiber fruits and vegetables, tend to break down and release energy slowly over time, whereas simple carbohydrates, ie processed sugar, break down and release energy quickly, and thus are used up quickly. This is why people who consume a lot of processed sugar, such as that found in many sodas, sometimes report a sudden "energy crash".
When cells break down carbohydrates for energy what energy currency molecule is produced?
Glucose.
