When molecules are broken down from where is the energy released?
When molecules are broken down the energy is released from the outer electron shells of the various elements involved.
What happens when organic molecules decompose?
energy is released
Energy for use in cells is stored in the form of?
The energy in the food is stored in the form of chemical bonds. When the catabolic reactions occur nutrient molecules like glucose are broken down into smaller molecules and the energy thus released due to the breaking of chemical pond is conserved in the form of ATP. The most classical reaction that occurs is catabolic oxidation of glucose during respiration. Glucose contains 5 single bonds among six carbons that is broken down into six CO2 molecules and the released energy is stored in 38 ATPs. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP Similar kinds of reactions occur with fat molecules also but with different stoichiometry and the end result is same. The energy released by the breaking of bonds is reserved in the form of ATP.
When living cells break down food molecules energy is?
When living cells break down food molecules energy is released and used to form ATP.
When chlorophyll a molecules absorb energy the molecules?
release electrons and energy
The organelles within cells where energy is released from nutrient molecules?
These cell organelles are the mitochondria.
What energy is heterotrophs required in?
nutrient molecules are broken down
What cell organelle uses oxygen and enzymes to transfer the energy found in nutrient molecules to ATP?
a mitochondria
When molecules are broken down from where is the energy released?
When molecules are broken down the energy is released from the outer electron shells of the various elements involved.
External respiration involves the use of oxygen to release energy stored in nutrient molecules such as glucose that true or false?
true
When covalent bonds in organic molecules are broken the energy is not used immediately Instead the released energy is stored in?
molecules of ATP.
What happens when organic molecules decompose?
energy is released
How is energy released from food molecules?
cellular respiration.
During the energy extraction part of the Krebs cycle how many molecules of CO2 are released?
the answer is 2!
Chemical energy is released when the bonds of molecules are broken?
true
What is the path that energy and nutrient follow in an ecosystem?
energy pyramid or nutrient pyramid.
What does the moitchondria do?
They are organeles within the cell and are called the 'power house' of the cell because they store energy in chemical form for the cell to use when required
