Fermentation
The breakdown of molecules to release energy occurs in the mitochondria of a cell through a process called cellular respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source, as well as carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
ATP derives its energy from the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration.
What is the name of the short chains of glucose units that result from starch breakdown?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
Chemical equation for fermentation is: Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.
The process in which energy is released from glucose is called cellular respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
The process is called cellular respiration. It involves the breakdown of glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for extracting energy from the breakdown products of carbohydrates such as glucose, through the process of cellular respiration.
The breakdown of starch produces glucose molecules, which can be used by cells as a source of energy through cellular respiration.
The energy conversion in cells is called cellular respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
The breakdown of sugar in the body for energy is called glycolysis. Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is converted into pyruvate, producing ATP (cellular energy) in the process.
The amount of energy produced in the partial breakdown of glucose is 2 molecules of ATP. This occurs during the process of glycolysis, which is the first stage of cellular respiration. Additional energy is later produced through the complete breakdown of glucose in the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.
ATP derives its energy from the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration.

Exothermic. Glucose is one of the major source of energy of the body and can only act as an energy source because its breakdown into CO2 is an exothermic reaction.
