The bonds that hold glucose and other food molecules together contain what kinds of energy?
potential energy
What happends to food energy during photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis uses light energy along with carbon dioxide to make molecules, or food energy. This food energy is stored in chemical bonds.
What converts food into energy?
the kreb's cycle converts glucose into ATP (human energy)
How are fermentation and cellular respiration similar?
Both fermentation and cellular respiration release energy from glucose and other food molecules, making them similar in their processes.
Does photosynthesis produce heat?
yes,respiration produce heat. bcoz glucose is converted into water c02 and energy of which heat energy is a part
What in the mitochondria break down food molecules?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.So food we eat converted to glucose.
How is energy converted into energy food?
Energy is converted into food molecules through the various chemical bond reactions that happen in the body of the living things.
How is food converted into energy by the digestive?
The glucose from the food is used in every cell in the body for respiration to create energy
How does energy get converted from food molecules to muscles?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
When plants perform photosynthesis they use sunlight to produce food. This is an example of light energy being converted to?
It is converted to chemical energy. They are in bonds of glucose
How is the energy for most ecosystems converted into the energy in food?
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.
What is the energy located in the bonds of food molecules?
The location of energy release from food molecules is in the mitochondria of the cell. The process in which energy is released from food molecules is known as cellular respiration.
What type of energy is stored in food molecules?
Chemical potential energy
When food is broken down energy is temporarily stored in what molecules?
When food is broken down, energy is temporarily stored in a glucose molecule. This is the major reason that overweight persons have a higher risk for Type 2 Diabetes. The more food a person eats, the more glucose molecules are needed to store the body's energy.
What is the functions of glucose?
Glucose is the preferred food for the body. What that means is that it is what any food that is to be used for energy is converted into glucose and delivered to the body via the blood.
The bonds that hold glucose and other food molecules together contain what kinds of energy?
potential energy
Where does cellular respiration get glucose?
Food... carbohydrates are converted into glucose.
