What is the major source of energy for animal cells?
sunlight
Would a fully oxidized or fully reduced molecule be a better cellular energy source?
reduced
The most common molecule used in cellular respiration of all organisms as a source of energy is?
Sugar
What nutrient is the preferred energy source for the body?
Glucose is the preferred energy source.
What molecule that provides most of the energy for cellular processes is called?
adenoidine triphosphate a molcule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes
Glucose is the preferred source of energy for?
brain
What two macromolecules are used as the primary source of energy for cellular functions?
The molecule that is the primary source of energy in all cells is ATP, which is definitely not a macromolecule. The molecule that is the primary source of energy in cells for making ATP from ADP is glucose, which is definitely not a macromolecule. Macromolecules that can be metabolized for energy (starches, fatty acids, proteins) are only secondary or tertiary sources of energy as the process of extracting energy from them is slow and inefficient.
What important process takes place inside a celles mitochondria?
Mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion) are organelles that carry out cellular respiration in nearly all eukaryotic cells, converting the chemical energy of foods such as sugars to the chemical energy of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the main energy source for cellular work.
What is the preferred source of energy for the heart muscle?
The preferred source of energy for the heart muscle is fatty acids. Fatty acids are "good fats" that are main sources of energy for cells.
What is the main energy source used in cellular respiration?
The main energy source used in cellular respiration, particularly in animals, is glucose. It is the common energy source cells use in respiration to generate ATP.
Why glucose is most preferred source of energy in cell?
In its form, glucose is ready for absorption into the blood stream. As such, it is the most preferred source of energy in body cells.
Are Lipids the preferred source of energy for fueling cellular activity?
No that would be glucose, if lipids were the preferred source then fat burning would be very simple, lipids are long term energy stores.
