What organelle is needed to break down the glucose in cell respiration?
photosynthesis
What cell part helps plant and animal cells break down glucose?
cytology
What do mitochondria do with the glucose they absorb?
they break down the carbon and oxygen to used in respiration of the cell
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 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 substance does glycolysis break down?
Glucose, of course.
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
The Glycolysis process allows living organisms break down glucose
Which organelle in a cell uses oxygen when breaking down glucose?
Mitochondria in the cell use oxygen when breaking down glucose.
What provides the initial energy to break down glucose during glycolysis?
ATP provides energy to break down glucose during glycolysis.
How did the glucose molecule get broken down and transported to a cell?
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.
