Does cellular respiration release glucose?

Yes - glucose is broken down in the first step of cellular respiration. This stage is known as glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm. Cellular respiration begins with glucose and ends creating ATP.


What chemical is broken down by respiration?

glucose is broken down by cellular respiration


Type of compounds broken down during cellular respiration?

Glucose.


What is broken down into CO2 and H2O during cellular respiration?

Glucose is broken down due to cellular respiration.


Is glucose a reactant in respiration?

Glucose must be present in order for cellular respiration to occur. Cellular respiration is the process in which glucose is broken down in to ATP (energy), Carbon Dioxide, and water. Glucose is a reactant in the sense that it must be present for the reaction to occur.


What are the type of compounds broken down during cellular respiration called?

GLUCOSE


What is the process called when glucose is combined with oxygen and is broken down?

Cellular respiration.


What breaks down glucose before cellular respiration?

Glucose is broken down IN cellular respiration, also called the Kreb cycle. Glucose enters this electron transport chain process intact, and is broken down to CO2 and water, while giving off chemical energy which is stored in the form of ATP molecules for the cell to use for chemical energy in metabolic processes. Glucose is not broken down before cellular respiration; it is broken down IN the process.


Are the sugar produced in Calvin cycle used in cellular respiration?

Of corse,glucose is produced in photosynthesis.Glucose is broken in respiration.


What substance is released when glucose is broken down in cellular respiration?

Glucose is broken down during cellular respiration to produce carbon dioxide and?

water


What during cellular respiration?

During cellular respiration the Glucose is broken down. It may be in either of two processes- Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In Aerobic respiration there is break down of glucose in CO2 and H2O along with energy in presence of O2. This can be shown in following reaction C6H12O6 + O2 --------> CO2 + H2O + Energy And in anaerobic respiration glucose is broken down in any alcohol.
