Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is turned into energy. Without this process, cells would not be able to divide and reproduce, meaning humans and other animals could not survive.

What converts food into energy?
the kreb's cycle converts glucose into ATP (human energy)
What does glycolysis break down?
Metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and a small amount of ATP anaerobicly
In cellular respiration what does glucose turn into?
Water and carbon dioxide, ATP is produced as well
What process converts glucose to pyruvate while generating a small amount of ATP but no carbon dioxide?
Glycolysis, which means "sugar splitting". Glucose, a sugar, is split into two pyruvates.
In glycolysis what is the ratio of glucose molecules to the net number ATP molecules at the end of the process?
1 glucose molecule = 38 ATP
Converts the energy stored in glucose to ATP?
The mitochondria.
What connection does glucose form with ATP?
Glucose is the energy source for the body. But it cannot use it in that form, so it converts it to ATP for use in metabolism.

What does the first process of glycolosis produce?
Glycolosis is a metabolic reaction which converts glucose into pyruvate. The first step involves the phopsphate transfer from ATP group to glucose, thus formin glucose 6 phosphate.

Mitochondria produce ATP by?
They produce ATP by oxidizing Glucose. Energy is stored in glucose.
What is produced during glycolysis?
The process of glycolysis converts 2 ATP molecules and 1 Glucose molecule into 2 Pyruvate molecules (or pyruvic acid, a 3 carbon molecule) and 4 ATP molecules. The net gain of ATP is 2, since 2 ATP have already been invested in the process.
What converts ADT to ATP?
The item that converts ADT to ATP is the ADT synthase. This is an enzyme that works to convert both a phosphate molecule and ADP together to make ATP.
