The citric acid cycles doesn't really metabolize glucose. That would be the glycolysis.

What metabolic pathway generates 36 ATP from a single glucose molecule?
Glucose metabolism
What organelle is used to break down glucose?
Glucose is broken down during cellular respiration to produce a form of energy the cell can use.The first stage, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The other phases occur in the mitochondria.
How many ATP molecules can the cell produce from a single molecule of glucose through the glycolysis?
2
Does cyclic electron flow in the chloroplast produce ATP glucose and NADPH?
9 ATP and 6 NADPH overall. This energy is supplied by the light reactions from photosystem II and photosystem I. 6 ATP are reduced to 6 ADP in stage 1( fixation). The 6 NADPH are reduced to form 6 NADP+ in stage 2(reduction). The final 3 ATP are used in stage 3(regeneration of acceptor).
Why do the cells need glucose?
The body needs to store glucose as a polysaccharide because if it is store as single molecules of glucose (non-phosphorylated), it will leave the cells and be sent out of the body via kidneys. So the cell can either store glucose as Glucose-6-phosphate or polysaccharide. If G6P is stored inside cells, it will readily be degraded via the glycolysis pathway. So putting it in a polysaccharide prevents 1.) removal from body and 2.) rapid metabolism of glucose.
Is citric acid a mixture?
Citric acid (if pure and in the anhydrous form) is a single molecule with the formula C6H8O7. So - NO - citric acid is a compound, but not a mixture.
Why is glucose your bodies single most important source of energy?
Glucose is very important source. This is because, your brain can use glucose only as a source of energy. Rest of the body can manage without the glucose. Fortunately you get much more glucose from your food than required by your body. Glucose being the primary product of photosynthesis.
What is difference between citric acid mono and citric acid anhydrus?
Citric acid monohydrate has a single molecule of water attached to each molecule of citric acid, whereas citric acid anhydrous has been dried so has no water at all.
How many glucose monomers are there in a single starch molecule?
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
Does glucose have single or double bonds?
it has all single bonds
Is glucose a monomer?
Yes. You are right. Glucose is a monomer. Because it is a single molecule.
What metabolic pathway generates 36 ATP from a single glucose molecule?
Glucose metabolism
Glucose is considered a monomer because?
Because it is a single hexagonal ring structure.
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
Monomer of Carbohydrates?
monosaccharides which are single simple sugars( glucose, fructose galactose)
How many hydrogen are in a single glucose molecule?
The formula for glucose is C6H12O6, so 12 hydrogen.
Starch is digested into many single units of glucose molecules so glucose is an example of a what?
Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.
