How much more energy does glucose store than ATP?
90 times more energy
Why does glucose have more potential energy than water?
because it is bigger and can store more energy
Compare the amount of energy stored by ATP and glucose.?
One molecule of glucose stores 90 times the amount of chemical energy than one molecule of ATP.
What nutrients yield the highest amount of energy per gram when metabolized?
starch is the nutrient that provides greatest amount of energy. during the process of digestion starch is converted into maltose which is then converted into glucose. breaking down of 1 glucose molecule provides 2780kilo joules of energy.
Is concentrated energy more useful than spread out energy?
Yes, usually. Basically, concentrated energy has less entropy than when it is spread out.
Fermentation is not as energy productive as respiration because?
pyruvate is more reduced than CO2; it still contains much of the energy from glucose
Lactic acid buildup is caused by what?
As you perform strenuous exercise, your breathing increases in an attempt to send more oxygen to your working muscles. Although the body prefers to generate most of its energy by using oxygen in an aerobic method, strenuous activities require energy production faster than our bodies can adequately deliver oxygen to. Because of this, muscles generate energy anaerobically, with energy coming from glucose through a process called glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into a substance called pyruvate. When the body has enough oxygen, pyruvate is sent to an aerobic pathway to be broken down for more energy. When energy is limited, the body converts pyruvate into a substance called lactate, which allows glucose to breakdown to continue energy production.
What happens with ATP during glycolsis?
Glucose is changed into pyruvate
Does oxidation of glucose yield more energy than glycogen?
No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
Why does glucose have more potential energy than water?
because it is bigger and can store more energy
How much more energy does glucose store than ATP?
90 times more energy
Cells use to get energy only when carbohydrate's are not available?
lIPIDS
Which molecule stores more than 90 times the energy in ATP?
Glucose
Does glucose contain more energy than carbon dioxide and water?
yes
Does fermentation produce more energy per glucose than cellular respiration?
No.
Does a molecule of starch have more stored energy than a glucose molecule and why?
yes - starch is a larger molecule (with more bonds holding atoms together, so it has more energy) because it is a polymer of glucose. Glucose is one ring of carbons and starch is a chain of these.
Does unit of fat take more oxygen to be converted to energy than glucose?
yes
