Anaerobic respiration entails the generation of energy via the process oxidation in the absence of oxygen as electron accpetor. In most eukaryotes, glucose is used as both an energy store and an electron donor. The equation for the oxidation of glucose is:
C6H12O6 2CH3CH(OH)COOH + 2 ATP
ATP production during photosynthesis
In plants, ATP is synthesized in thylakoid membrane of the choloroplast during the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis in a process called photophosphorylation. Here, light energy is used to pump protons across the chloroplast membrane. This produces a proton-motive force and this drives the ATP synthase, exactly as in oxidative phosphorylation. Some of the ATP produced in the chloroplasts is consumed in the Calvin cycle, which produces triose sugars.

Type of compounds broken down during cellular respiration?
Glucose.
What converts energy to glucose?
Glucose is broken down to release energy during respiration.
Where in an animal is a sugar molecule broken down to release energy?
cellular respiration
What is the chemical process through which glucose and other simple molecules are broken down to release energy are?
that is called metabolism
What kind of organic compounds that function in building tissues and acting as enzymes?
Two organic compounds that act as enzymes are maltase and amylase. Amylase is involved in the breakdown of starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides, which are then broken down into glucose by other enzymes. Maltase is involved in the breakdown of the disaccharide maltose, a disaccharide formed when starch is broken down.
Type of compounds broken down during cellular respiration?
Glucose.
What are the type of compounds broken down during cellular respiration called?
GLUCOSE
Does glucose release energy quicker than starch?
GLucose does release energy quicker than starch. this is because starches (CH2O) are the compounds in which glucose is stored.
What converts energy to glucose?
Glucose is broken down to release energy during respiration.
What energy is release when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
ATP
What does cellular respiration break down in order to release energy?
glucose is broken down in glycolysis during respiration to release energy
How is glucose finally eliminated from the body?
Glucose is generally not excreted from the body, it can be stored as gyclogen, latter broken down for energy. In which glucose is broken down into pyruvate then into glycolosis for processing Excess glucose can be in the urine if you are diabetic. Glucose can be stored in your liver and in your muscles in the form of glycogen and then released as the cells need glucose for respiration. Glycolysis is the process whereby glucose is cut into two molecules of pyruvate. If oxygen is present, pyruvate will enter the mitochondria and chemical bonds in pyruate will be broken to release energy that will be stored in ATP
Where in an animal is a sugar molecule broken down to release energy?
cellular respiration
What is the chemical process through which glucose and other simple molecules are broken down to release energy are?
that is called metabolism
How do photosynthesis releases energy?
No,it stores energy in glucose. Energy is released by respiration
What is mitochondria in the role of metabolism?
They are needed for energy production. Many metabollic reactions need energy
Which monomer is produced when starches are broken down?
The monomer that is formed when starch is broken down is GLUCOSE.
