Series of reactions that produce two ATP molecules by breaking down a glucose molecule to pyruvic acid?
Glycolysis
Why is sugar cosidered an organic compound?
Because it contains carbon. In fact, glucose is an aldehyde (which is a homologous series in organic chemistry)
What are the products when an acid and metal are combined?
It gives salt and H2.But metals below Cu in activity series do not give those.
The series of chemical reactions in which a molecule of glucose is broken down is called?
The part of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down is called the glycolysis. The chemical energy to produce ATP come from the breakdown of carbon based molecules into the smaller molecules.
What is saccharide?
Saccharides are sugars * A monosaccharide (e.g. glucose, fructose) is the smallest possible sugar unit * A disaccharide is two monosaccharide molecules bonded together e.g. sucrose consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose * A polysaccharide is a chain of monosaccharides; the chain may be branched (e.g. glycogen) or unbranched (e.g. cellulose)
What are the electrons associated with the hydrogen atom in glucose during aerobic respiration?
oxygen in a series of steps
What are converted into glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water react during a series of steps to produce glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. The overall chemical reaction is:6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What does a plant produce during photosynthesis?
Plants first make two special compounds called ATP and NADPH, and only after a subsequent series of steps, do hydrogen (H) atoms from NADPH are combined with carbon dioxide (CO2)from the air to produce glucose (C6H12O6)
What are glucose and oxygen converted into in aerobic respiration?
It really depends on if its aerobic(with oxygen) or anaerobic(without oxygen) respiration. In aerobic respiration carbon dioxide, water and energy are made In anaerobic respiration lactic acid and energy are made.
How are resistance combined in a series circuit?
Resistances are additive in a series circuit.
How does glucose make ATP?
Through a series of reactions called "glycolysis" in which the bonds in the glucose molecule are broken down step-wise and the energy contained within those bonds is transfered to make ATP. In some organisms (ie humans), even more ATP can be made if oxygen is present and the glucose break down product (pyruvate) can go through a further series of reactions called oxidative metabolism.
What happens during photo synthesis?
During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (energy) and oxygen. Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in the plant's cells, which then convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose through a series of chemical reactions. Oxygen is released as a byproduct and is released into the atmosphere.
Why cellular respiration is an aerobic process?
Cellular respiration is an aerobic process because it needs oxygen to take space. It utilizes oxygen to completely break down glucose in mitochondria for a larger ATP yield.
What are the reactants and the products for cellular respiration?
Most cells generate ATP and other high-energy compounds by breaking down carbohydrates especially glucose. The complete reaction sequence can be summarized as follows: glucose +oxygen = carbon dioxide + water The breakdown occurs in a series of small steps, several of which release sufficient energy to support the conversion of ADP to ATP. The complete catabolism of one molecule of glucose provides a typical body cell a net gain of 36 molecules of ATP.
How are glucose and manose related?
Monnose can be defined as a sugar monmer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. Glucose can be defined as d-glucose, dextrose or grape sugar. Glucose and manose are related because they are both types of sugars.
What does the delivery of oxygen allow cells to do?
Oxygen is used by cells for the process of respiration. Respiration is the release of energy from food. When this happens using oxygen it is called aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY IRON
What will be the combined voltage if AC and DC in series circuit?
the sum of the two
