What elements are in starches and surgars?

Starches and sugars, like all carbohydrates, are made of the elements Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen in the ratio 1C:2H:1O, Cn(H2O)n. From this empirical formula, it looks like carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon, that is, some form of carbon with water molecules attached. They are much more complicated than that, but the name "carbohydrate" stuck. By the way, starch is a polymer of glucose, meaning that it's a long string of glucose units stuck end to end. It generally has many branches and used for food storage. Cellulose is also a polymer of glucose, but because of the way the glucose parts are arranged, it tends to form a fibrous structure, so it's much stronger and used for support. Animals lack the enzyme required to break cellulose back into glucose, so most can't access much of the energy available in plants, especially the cellulose-rich woody parts. Some animals, however, have bacteria in their digestive tract, like cows and termites. For them, cellulose is food.

What happens to the glucose that the plants produce during photosynthesis?

The produced glucose will become food for the plant.


How much ATP can you produce with mitochondria?

What do glycogen cellulose and starch all have in common?

Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.


Does glucose build muscles?

no, because glucose is a form of sugar, and sugar is energy, and energy is pretty much fat.


How much cellulose does it take to produce 1 gallon of fuel?

The amount of cellulose required to produce 1 gallon of fuel can vary significantly depending on the conversion process and the type of biomass used. On average, it is estimated that around 2,500 to 3,000 grams of cellulose are needed to produce 1 gallon of ethanol through fermentation. However, this figure can fluctuate based on the efficiency of the technology used and the specific feedstock involved.

Is plants or meats harder to digest?

Humans' storage form of energy is a six carbon sugar called glucose. Our cells can easily break glucose down into ATP, the main energy that powers our cells. Plants' storage form of energy is starch, which we can also break down, however you eat the whole plant, not just its starch, and plants also contain cellulose, a structual carbohydrate that your body cannot breakdown into ATP. While starch can be converted to glucose, it requires more energy to do so, and cellulose cannot be converted at all. So in short, your body breaks down meat more easily because it's energy is already stored in a form which your body can process most easily.


How much the cost invovled to produce a specific form of animation?

How much glucose and oxygen is produced in a human?

In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water, not glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is consumed during cellular respiration to help produce ATP. The amount of glucose and oxygen produced in a human is not a measurable output since they are utilized within the body for energy production.


Where does the carbon end up in plants?

Much of the Oxygen is released in the form of O2. The Carbon is incorporated in various organic compounds such as sugars, fats, proteins, DNA, RNA, cellulose, lipids, and etc.
