What is the process of cells that produce energy from carbohydrates?
Glucose is broken down in the cell's power house, (mitochondrium) using a succession of different enzymes and Oxygen to produce Adenosine Triphosphate, Water and Carbon Dioxide. The cell can then use energy for living processes by converting ATP, (Adeosine Triphosphate) to ADP, (Adenosine Diphosphate). ATP is the cell's "Power Currency".
What organelle is small circular and contains enzymes?
Lysosome
What is a membrane-bound sacs that contain hydrolytic enzymes which digest complex organelle molecules?
lysosome
How big are enzymes?
enzymes are macromolecules, therefore they are larger than single or double bonded atoms. They are on the large end in an organism, but not as big as an organelle.
What is the most important energy harvesting molecule in organisms and what does it do?
The ATP molecule, which stands for adenosine triphosphate . literally, as soon as this molecule of energy is constructed, it explodes and provides energy for all metabolic processes of both plants and animals.
What does the mitochondrion in a cell do?
Mitochondria create ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is the main energy source of the cell. When a cell needs energy, the cell breaks one phosphate off of the molecule, which then becomes Adenosine Diphosphate.
Do Enzymes such as adenosine triphosphate provide the energy required for chemical reactions to occur in human beings?
Nope!
What has the author Evgenia Gerasimovskaya written?
Evgenia Gerasimovskaya has written: 'Extracellular ATP and adenosine as regulators of endothelial cell function' -- subject(s): Physiological effect, Physiology, Cell Communication, Adenosine Triphosphate, Endothelins, Adenosine triphosphate, Endothelial Cells, Extracellular enzymes
Which organelle is the energy producer?
The mitochondria is the energy producer.The Mitochondria(-ion) is the organelle responsible for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It has a double-membrane: an outer membrane and a highly convoluted inner membrane. It's inner membrane has folds or shelf-like structures called cristae that contain "elementary particles"; these particles contain enzymes that are important in ATP production.

What organelles contain enzymes used in the breakdown of glucose and generation of ATP?
Mitochondria are often called the power plants of the cell. They are responsible for the greatest production of adenosine triphosphate, the molecule which carries energy for most of the cell's functions.
How ATP is converted to perform its function as source of energy?
ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. This means that there are 3 phosphate groups in the molecule, which are linked to the adenosine with very high energy covalent bonds. Whenever any of these phosphate groups' bonds is broken, it releases all of the energy that was involved in the bond. It is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and so on by enzymes, that can break the covalent bonds to phosphate groups and release the big pack of potential energy.
Which cell organelle has strong digestive enzymes?
Lysosomes have powerful digestive enzymes..
Organelle that contains enzymes for digestion?
Lysosomes
What is a organelle containing digestive enzymes?
gallbladder
What organelle contains enzymes to break down glucose and generates ATP?
A spherical or rod-shaped organelle found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells called the mitochondrion. It acts as the 'powerhouse of the cell' as it generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.
What do animals use in order to release energy stored in food?
Animals use their stomach and then enzymes to release the energy stored in food. This energy is formed into high energy compounds like adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
