Another function of the Kreb's cycle other than to continue the breakdown of glucose is to release energy. It gives the cell more energy to complete other processes.
What is the name of the short chains of glucose units that result from starch breakdown?
Yes, glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, which can increase blood glucose levels.
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose that produces a net result of two ATP. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and involves a series of enzymatic reactions that convert glucose into pyruvate.
Mitochondria
The main result of aerobic respiration is the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the cell's energy currency. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts.
Cell function is to produce lipid compounds and to breakdown glucose to CO2 and H2O.
The mitochondria.
The term glycolysis actually means the breakdown of glucose. What is needed is oxygen for an aerobic respiration.
....conversion of glucose to pyruvate.

What is the name of the short chains of glucose units that result from starch breakdown?
it refers to the breakdown of glucose
Pyruvic acid
Beta cells will produce insulin in a humoral response to blood glucose levels rising. Alpha cells will produce glucagon which will stimulate breakdown of glycogen stores to raise blood glucose.
The breakdown of starch produces glucose molecules, which can be used by cells as a source of energy through cellular respiration.
Glucose and galactose
glucagon
