What metabolic pathway is common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown?
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown. It is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. All organisms produce a high energy compound ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose and other sugars.
What metabolic pathway generates 36 ATP from a single glucose molecule?
Glucose metabolism
Which is the molecule that is broken down and reformed at higher rate when the cells metabolic activity increases?
ATP
Why is Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because?
It can be used in catabolic and anabolic pathways.
The complete breakdown of a glucose molecule during oxidative respiration requires six oxygen molecules is that true or false?
true
What is an example of a metabolic molecule?
ATP
What atmospheric molecule is required for the complete breakdown of glucose?
The atmospheric molecule is the diatomic Oxygen molecule, O2.
What molecule is produced from excess fat breakdown?
ketones
How many FAD and NAD plus molecules are needed for the breakdown of each glucose molecule?
There are 2 FAD and NAD and molecules. This is to breakdown each glucose molecule.
What type of organic molecule is easiest to breakdown?
Cellular respiration.
What is the breakdown of large molecule by the enzymatic addition of water is?
hydrolysis
What metabolic pathway is common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown?
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown. It is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. All organisms produce a high energy compound ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose and other sugars.
What is the enzymatic breakdown of any type of food molecule by the edition of a water molecule to each molecular bond?
pepsin
Which type of molecule would contain stored energy for use in metabolic reactions?
Carbohydrates
What is the energy molecule that is produced by cellular respiration and used in metabolic reactions?
adenosine triphosphate
What intermediate molecule is produced by respiration to provide the energy for most metabolic reactions?
