The Mitochondria
The mitochondria.
Glucose is diffused through facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane. It is oxidised by glycolysis in the cytoplasm and then the products either go through the mitochondria if oxygen is present or goes through fermentation in the cytosoplasm if no oxygen.
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose in the respiratory cycle to produce ATP for cellular energy, which happens in the mitochondria.
All of these enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules.
respiration
pyruvic acid.
Actually glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose molecules into smaller parts) is anaerobic, and so happens without oxygen, but the product of this process is taken into the mitochondria and broken down further (Krebs cycle) in the presence of oxygen to make ATP (oxidative phosphorylation).
The main gas produced from the breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria is carbon dioxide (CO2). This occurs during a process called cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP. In addition to CO2, water (H2O) and heat are also produced.
Glucose is broken down during cellular respiration to produce a form of energy the cell can use.The first stage, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The other phases occur in the mitochondria.
Chloroplasts are glucose manufacturers. Mitochondria utilize those glucose
