Metabolization (digestion breaks it down into its various constituent parts which are then picked up by the blood stream, carried to the various organs and used to maintain their functions).

Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen?
Glucose is the main chemical compound that is converted to glycogen in a process called glycogenesis. Other compounds such as fructose and galactose can also be converted to glucose and ultimately stored as glycogen. The conversion of these compounds to glycogen occurs in the liver and muscles primarily to maintain blood sugar levels and provide energy reserves.
A long chain of energy-rich organic compounds made of glucose molecules is called a?
A long chain of energy-rich organic compounds made of glucose molecules is called a carbohydrate.
What is The conversion of non-carbohydrate compounds to glucose is called?
Metabolization (digestion breaks it down into its various constituent parts which are then picked up by the blood stream, carried to the various organs and used to maintain their functions).
What is the conversion of non-carbohydrate compounds to glucose called?

Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
What are the type of compounds broken down during cellular respiration called?
GLUCOSE
What is the process of conversion of glucose units into starch called?
Dehydration synthesis
The amount of oxygen needed to support the conversion of lactic acid to glucose is called what?
The amount of oxygen needed to support the conversion of lactic acid to glucose is known as oxygen debt. This process occurs during anaerobic respiration, where lactic acid is converted back to glucose in the presence of oxygen to replenish energy stores in the body.
What is the energy conversion in cells called?
The energy conversion in cells is called cellular respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
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.
The conversion of CO2 and H2O into organic compounds using energy from light is called?
This process is called photosynthesis. It is the fundamental process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into energy to produce organic compounds like sugars.
