How many molecules of ATP are produced by the entire breakdown of glucose?

I think that it is Mitochondria...but im not sure. The first stages in the breakdown of glucose occur in the cytoplasm of the cell. These reactions do not use oxygen and only a small amount of energy is converted to ATP. Much more energy is released in the second stage which does take place in the mitochondria. This is the stage which uses oxygen.


An increase in the level of cellular ATP is likely to occur under which conditions?

Aerobic respiration (of glucose, or compounds that can be converted into glucose) is a major source of ATP in a cell. Photosynthesis also produces ATP, which is used for the biosynthesis of organic molecules from inorganic ones. Some ATP is produced by glycolysis, the anaerobic breakdown of glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm.


The portion of aerobic respiration that produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose is?

Cellular RespirationSource: Holt Biology by Johnson Raven* Aerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule broken down. Aerobic respiration yields a variable number, but always more than ten times as many ATP molecules.


Aerobic respiration occurs in which organelle of the cell?

Cellular aerobic respiration occurs within the mitochondria.Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Mitochondria are the "cellular power houses" that conduct oxygen and glucose through the cell to the other mitochondria, which use the oxygen and glucose to power the cell. After being used, the oxgen and glucose is transformed into carbon dioxide and water.


What does cellular respiration occurs in the presence of?

Generally it will occur in the presence of oxygen, which is aerobic respiration, but there are other times where no oxygen will be present and cellular respiration will occur anaerobically (fermentation). Aerobic respiration is more beneficial because you produce more ATP than anaerobically.

What two processes in glucose breakdown are anaerobic?

During glucose breakdown, glycolysis and fermentation occur anaerobically. Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into energy and pyruvate. Fermentation uses to the pyruvate to form either ethanol or lactate.


Is glucose a reactant in respiration?

Glucose must be present in order for cellular respiration to occur. Cellular respiration is the process in which glucose is broken down in to ATP (energy), Carbon Dioxide, and water. Glucose is a reactant in the sense that it must be present for the reaction to occur.

What is glucogenolysis?

I think you have your terms confused, the term glucogenolysis is, I believe, a mix-up of the term glycogenolysis, which is the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose. Gluconeogenesis is the formation of new glucose from amino acids from protein breakdown and glycerin from fat breakdown. Glucogenolysis does not occur as glucose is not required to split. Instead, when the blood glucose level is too high, Glycogenesis occurs in which glucose is converted to the storage form glycogen.


Where does glycoysis occur?

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose in the respiratory cycle to produce ATP for cellular energy, which happens in the mitochondria.

What is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic Respiration :Respiration that uses oxygen and anerobic is done without oxygenNew Answer :Aerobic RespirationRespiration That uses Oxygen to form Co2 , H2o and Energy is called Aerobic RespirationThe Equation is :Food + O2 = Co2 + H2o + EnergyAnaerobic Respiration :Respiration that Does not use Oxygen to Form : Co2 , Ethanol and EnergyThe Equation is :Glucose = Pyrovic Acid = Co2 + Ethanol + EnergyHere = is givesand Ethanol = C2H5OHThanks hope this helpedGood LuckMain diffenernce between the two is - Anaerobic respiration is without oxygen, Aerobic with oxygen
