Carbohydrates are the most ready source of glucose out of all food types and glucose is required for formation of ATP. Fats may produce more energy than carbs upon oxidation but the process is much slower.

∙ 11y agoCarbohydrates are broken down in the digestive system into glucose. Glucose enters the blood where it either travels around the body or is converted into glycogen to be stored by the body for later. The glucose that is in blood is taken to cells which need energy where it is carried into the cells. Here it goes through a process called glycolysis which turnn glucose into Acetyl CoA. This compound enters the krebs cycle, which turns it into a substance called ATP. ATP is a chemical compound used in cells to make energy.
That's the process in a nutshell.

What is the main result of aerobic respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
What does Starch change into before respiratory ATP production?
Glucose
What is the main result of respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
ATP and glucose different?
Yes. Glucose is a sugar, and it is a 6 carbon ring (C6H12O6). ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is composed of adenosine and 3 phosphates (PO4). ATP is a direct source of energy for the body. When you ingest glucose, it is converted to ATP before it is used.
What is the total ATP generated for 1 molecule of glucose using oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryotes?
Total (gross ) ATP production by oxidative process is 36 .
What is the main result of aerobic respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
What do aerobic respiration and lactic acid fermentation have in common besides the production of ATP?
ATP production begins with glucose..
What is the most important carbohydrate for ATP production?
glucose
What occurs if glucose is not immediately needed for ATP production?
glycogenesis
What does Starch change into before respiratory ATP production?
Glucose
What is the main source of energy for ATP production?
Glucose (and CO2)
What is the main result of respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
The main result of aerobic respiration is?
the production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose
What are the majority of ATP production in stages of aerobic respiration?
The majority of ATP production occurs during electron transport, which produces 34 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
What reactant is needed to release energy from glucose during the production of ATP?
oxygen
What molecule is most responsible for the production of ATP?
The Mitochondria of an animal cell is responsible for producing ATP in an animal while the Chloroplast of a plant cell is responsible for producing ATP in a plant. More specifically, for plants, the Glucose which is produced in the light stage of photosynthesis (C6H12O6) is responsible for the production of adenine triphosphate (ATP), which is where a plant gets the energy to produce food in the dark stage of photosynthesis. The answer you are looking for is Glucose. The Glucose molecule is most responsible for the production of ATP.
How many ATP's are needed to activate glucose?
2 ATP molecules are produced during glycolysis.
