Fermentation is not as energy productive as respiration because?

pyruvate is more reduced than CO2; it still contains much of the energy from glucose


How do muscles get energy when there is low levels of oxygen?

They can get some energy out of glycolysis, or the splitting of glucose into pyruvate, and the pyruvate can be fermented into lactic acid, producing more energy. This lactic acid is why your muscles get sore after oxygen deprivation.


Why does glucose have more energy than pyruvate?

During glycolysis a glucose molecule will break down into two pyruvate molecules.Glucose is C6H12O6 while pyruvate is C3H4O3.


Lactic acid buildup is caused by what?

As you perform strenuous exercise, your breathing increases in an attempt to send more oxygen to your working muscles. Although the body prefers to generate most of its energy by using oxygen in an aerobic method, strenuous activities require energy production faster than our bodies can adequately deliver oxygen to. Because of this, muscles generate energy anaerobically, with energy coming from glucose through a process called glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into a substance called pyruvate. When the body has enough oxygen, pyruvate is sent to an aerobic pathway to be broken down for more energy. When energy is limited, the body converts pyruvate into a substance called lactate, which allows glucose to breakdown to continue energy production.


The energy in food molecules such as glucose is converted into what?

Its been degraded to two molecules of pyruvate.


How is lactic aid removed from the body?

It is not removed. The lactic acid contains a lot of energy so the body can use it to release more energy The lactic acid passes into the blood and it is transported to the liver where it is converted into a respiratory substrate called pyruvate The body can then use the energy in pyruvate to make more ATP which is the energy currency of the body. This produces water and carbon dioxide


What happens with ATP during glycolsis?

Glucose is changed into pyruvate


What substance is needed to begin glycolysis?

Glycolysis is the process that turns glucose into pyruvate. The energy released from this is then used to make the more readily usable ATP.


Does oxidation of glucose yield more energy than glycogen?

No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.


Which has more potential energy glucose or glucose plus P?

glucose does


Why does glucose contain more energy than carbon dioxide?

Glucose is a larger molecule that has many high energy bonds which store energy. ATP is a simple small molecule that contains only 1 high energy bonds. This is why one glucose molecule will create several ATP molecules.


Do The products CO2 and H20 contain more energy than does the reactant glucose?

they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
