What else can I help you with?
What organelle is needed to break down the glucose in cell respiration?
photosynthesis
What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What do mitochondria do with the glucose they absorb?
they break down the carbon and oxygen to used in respiration of the cell
What cell part helps plant and animal cells break down glucose?
cytology
What does the mitochondria do in a fat cell?
The same as any other cell. They break down glucose and form molecules of ATP which the cell can use for energy.
What is the chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar?
hi! the chemical reaction that happens in every cell is called glucose
During digestion what molecule enters the cell?
The goal of digestion is to break down food to the glucose level. Only then will it be absorbed into the cell and be used in respiration.
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
Living organisms break down glucose through a process called cellular respiration. This process involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of the cell to produce ATP, the cell's primary source of energy. The three main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
What major fuel is used in cell activities?
Glucose is the major fuel used in cell activities. Cells break down glucose through a process called cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Which organelle in a cell uses oxygen when breaking down glucose?
Mitochondria in the cell use oxygen when breaking down glucose.
Where does the process that uses oxygen to break down glucose?
This process, known as aerobic respiration, occurs in the mitochondria of cells. Oxygen is used to break down glucose into energy in the form of ATP, which the cell can then use for various functions. Carbon dioxide and water are produced as byproducts.
What does a mitochondrion do with glucose?
Glucose is the fuel for the cell but it has to broken down first. In the mitochondria, it goes through steps which break it down a bit at a time and this process makes ATP. ATP is the energy coin of the cell which it then spends to do its' work.
