What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
Why do molecules of glucose galactose and fructose react differently during metabolism?
Because enzymes can only catalyse reactions of molecules with specific shapes. Glucose, galactose and fructose all have different shapes, so they need to undergo different reactions in order to be metabolised. All sugars are converted to fructose phosphate before metabolism begins. This happens to fructose by phosphorylating it directly, to glucose by phosphorylating glucose, then converting the glucose phosphate to fructose phosphate, and to galactose by converting the galactose to glucose.
What cell is in a Organelle?
They are the equivalent of human organs, just in a cell. Some are responsible for converting glucose into.atp(energy), others create ribosomes, others transport dna and some store materials needed for the cell
What organelle is responsible for conserving ATP in aerobic respiration?
In all cells, there are membrane enclosed organelles called Mitochondria, which produce ATP and glucose.
What organelle uses glucose?
Mitochondria
Which organelle is responsible for providing energy to the cells?
Mitochondria converts the glucose into energy !.

What cellular structure is responsible for converting energy stored in glucose into ATP?
The mitochondrion.

Which organelle makes chemical energy found in glucose available for use by the cell ?
In a eukaryotic cell, the mitochondria make chemical energy found in glucose molecules available for use by the cell.
Is an organ bigger than an organelle?
no. an organelle is made of molecules. it is called an organelle because it is a group of molecules working together to preform a function/process.
What is the process of converting glucose?
Unfortunately, your question is incomplete. If you mean what is the process of converting glucose to energy, the answer is respiration. If you mean what is the process of converting glucose to pyruvate (pyruvic acid) the answer is glycolysis.
What organelle is responsible for conserving ATP in aerobic respiration?
In all cells, there are membrane enclosed organelles called Mitochondria, which produce ATP and glucose.
What organelle uses glucose?
Mitochondria
Which cell organelle is responsible for making most of the cell's ATP?
Glucose is responsible for synthesizing most of the human body cells. The process of synthesizing is known as ATP synthesis.
What cell organelle makes glucose?
sperm
