In order for ATP to release energy to the cell, the bond between the second and third phosphate groups must be broken, releasing energy the cell can use to do work, and forming ADP and P.

When is energy released from a APT molecule?

I don't know what APT is, but ATP (adenosine triphosphate) releases energy when a phosphate group is removed from the rest of the ATP. When the bond that holds the phosphate group to the rest of the ATP is broken, it releases energy. The products are ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and a free phosphate group.


What is C6 H12 O6 it is in carryed by blood?

C6H12O6 is an organic molecule. It is also know as Glucose and is carried by your blood and used in cells for energy.


What is the bond with the most energy when ATP molecule is broken?

In the human body, ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP) is the major molecule that releases energy. This comprises the large ADENOSINE molecule and three negatively charged PHOSPHATE molecules. During cellular chemical reaction inside the cells' mitrochondria, one of the PHOSPHATE molecule is separated from the ATP producing two separate molecules: ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE (ADP) and one PHOSPHATE molecule. With this reaction, abundant energy is released.

What are the organelles in the cell that changes the simple sugars into energy?

In animal cells, mitochondria convert glucose, or sugars, into ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate), which is used to create energy for the cell. In plant cells, a similar job is performed by the chloroplasts.

Compare the energy values of a carbohydrate molecule versus a fat molecule?

A carbohydrate is equal to 4 calories.


What is an example of a chemical reaction that releases energy?

A chemical reaction that releases energy is called an exothermic reaction.


Why is the mitochondria important in cells?

Mitochondria are the primary energy factories in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria allow the cells to generate ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which uses electron transport chains to pump out around 32 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.


Is this true or false respiration provides energy for cells without using oxygen?

I don't know but respiration is the exchange of gases from one organism to another. Plant does it I think. They have two kinds of respiration. I think both releases O though.


Where in the molecules is the energy stored?

It's on the PAK ! I know you're from Kerr. And it is stored in Glucose molecule.


How do plants store energy from the sun?

Plants store all their energy (that they get from the sun).
