What process of breaking down food to release energy?
The process of breaking down food to release energy is called "Digestion".
Is photosynthesis the process by which cells produce energy by breaking down molecules of sugar?
No, photosynthesis is the absorbtion of CO2, H20 and UV light in order to produce O2 and sugar molecules.
Is bond breaking an endothermic or exothermic process?
Breaking bonds produces energy making it an exothermic process.
Process of breaking down food for energy?
Metabolism
Contrast the forming and breaking of chemical bonds in terms of energy changes?
The formation of chemical bonds releases energy. It is an exothermic process. The breaking of chemical bonds takes energy. It is an endothermic process.
What is the function of the animal cell mitochondria?
It has a universal function. That is to produce energy
How do cells produce their energy?
They produce energy through a process known as cellular respiration. In it, glucose is converted into energy.
How do producers produce energy?
Producers are plants. They produce energy through the amazing process of photosynthesis.
Does water provide energy to the body?
No. Water is essential in the process of metabolizing nutrients to produce energy, but water does not provide any energy, itself. Another way of looking at it is this: energy is obtained by breaking down molecules in reactions which release energy. Water molecules cannot release energy when they are broken down--on the contrary, breaking a water molecule consumes a significant amount of energy.
Process of breaking down food to release its energy?
Digestion
What is the process of breaking down food to release its energy?
Digestion.
Why do humans produce catalase?
Catalase helps to begin breaking down sugar to finally produce energy.
