Which structures break down food and release energy?
Mitochondria break down food and release energy.
Cells break down carbohydrates to absorb energy and form ATP?
No, they do it to release energy.
What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
Why is more energy required for the body to process complex carbohydrates than simple carbohydrates?
Because it takes energy to break down complex carbs into a form the body can use to make ATP.
What in the mitochondria break down food molecules?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.So food we eat converted to glucose.
Which structures break down food and release energy?
Mitochondria break down food and release energy.
What are the functions of metachondria?
The proper spelling is mitochondria. the main function of a mitochondria in a cell is to perform cellular respiration, that is, to break down carbohydrates(sugars) entering the cell and to create ATP, which is what cells use for energy.
Cells break down carbohydrates to absorb energy and form ATP?
No, they do it to release energy.
What are the organelles that break down food and turn it into energy for the cell to use?
The mitochondria.
What does the body need to break down and use sugar and carbohydrates?
insulin
What do you use managanese ore for?
It helps your body break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
Vitamins and minerals help the body use and break down?
carbohydrates , proteins, and fat
What is the process in which plant and animals use oxygen to break down stored carbohydrates?
cellular respiration
What is the process in which plant and animal cells use oxygen to break down stored carbohydrates?
cellular respiration
What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
When you eat a piece of bread you consume carbohydrates which part of the cell is reponsible for breaking down a carbohydrate for use by the body?
It is not a part of a cell, it is an enzyme produced by cells that breaks down carbohydrates into the component simple sugars that the cells can use. These simple sugars are then "burned" by the mitochondria in cells.
What is the name given to the types of organisms that exclusively use cellular respiration to break down glucose to produce ATP for energy?
Mitochondria
