Carbohydrates and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are two different molecules with different purposes. Chemically ATP is different as it has nitrogen and phosphorus, which carbohydrates such as glucose do not. The chief difference involves the chemical pathway of respiration where glucose is a reactant, and ATP is ultimately the product.

∙ 9y agoATP and glucose are similar because they are both chemical sources of energy used by cells.
They are very different in terms of composition and structure. Glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only whereas ATP has phosphorus and nitrogen in addition to the aforementioned three elements. Also, glucose is different from ATP in that the glucose does not have an aromatic ring even if it has a six membered cyclic ring.

∙ 11y agoATP is the process of ADP Adding on an extra phosphate to use as energy, thus recycling its self. Glucose is the product of plants after the equation 6CO2 + 6H20 - C6H12O6 + 6O2

What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
What substance is made from the energy that comes from broken carbohydrate bonds?
ATP
Which molecule is a product of photosynthesis?
ATP and ADP Sugar
Efficiency of a respiration pathway refers to the?
amount of ATP energy produced relative to the energy content of the carbohydrate entering the pathway
ATP and glucose different?
Yes. Glucose is a sugar, and it is a 6 carbon ring (C6H12O6). ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is composed of adenosine and 3 phosphates (PO4). ATP is a direct source of energy for the body. When you ingest glucose, it is converted to ATP before it is used.
What is the difference between a carbohydrate and a lipid?
cookies
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
A gram of fat oxidized by cellular respiration produces approximately as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate?
approximately twice as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate
What molecule is the main source of energy for cells?
Carbohydrate
What is the most important carbohydrate for ATP production?
glucose
What are the energy storing compounds in respiration?
its really ATP. put carbohydrate on a quiz and you'll get it wrong. Carbohydrate? i Buenos !
What is the difference between carbohydrate energy and fat energy?
carbohydrate energy is usage of energy fat energy stores energy
Is ATP chemically similar to a carbohydrate?
NO, ATP is Glucose; a carbohydrate is A carbohydrate is an organic compound which has the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n; that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water)
What is an inorganic compound ATP Lipid Carbohydrate or water?
Water
What substance is made from the energy that comes from broken carbohydrate?
ATP
What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
Is the main difference between respiration and fermenation is that fermenation does not use water?
No. The difference is that fermentation does not use oxygen and produces on 2 molecules of ATP,instead of 38 ATP.
