Which of the following compounds cannot be converted to glucose?
Fatty Acids.
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen?
Glycogen synthesis is an endergonic reaction that utilizes UTP to form UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose is then turned into glycogen by the glycogen synthase enzyme.
How is glucose converted into froctuse by what enzyme?
Glucose is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase enzyme
Organic compounds that store and transfer energy are what?
The form of potential energy that organic compounds hold is called fuel. On burning these compounds, the heat can be converted into other forms of energy.
How is glucose converted into starch?
Glucose compounds are joined together in a chain of molecules by a process of dehydration synthesis. The process of joining glucose compounds through the removal of water leads the the creation of starch. Through this process, hydrogen (H) and hydroxide (OH) ends are removed and joined separately to make water. Multiple bonds of hundreds of glucose can form complex sugars and polysaccharides such as starch.
What percentage of carbohydrates can be converted into glucose in the human body?
Once digested, 100% of carbohydrates are converted to glucose. However, approximately 40% of protein foods are also converted to glucose, but this has minimal effect on blood glucose levels.
What happens if you have enough glucose?
The glucose then is converted to it's ready use form glycogen. Then when needed it is converted back into glucose for cellular respiration.
What can be converted to glucose if your diet is insufficient?
protein would be converted into glucose.
What molecule is pyruvate initially converted in the anabolism of glucose?
Pyruvate is initially converted to oxaloacetate in the anabolism of glucose. That molecule in turn is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate.
How much of the available energy stored in glucose is converted to ATP?
About 67& of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP. The rest is lost as heat.
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
Carbohydrates are converted into?
Glucose
