How many ATP are produced during glycolysis?

During glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP, that is to say that four ATP were actually produced, but it took two to get the whole thing started, so only two were really gained (kind of like a profit)


Where is the energy stored in a molecule of ATP?

Energy is held in a molecule in several ways:translational energy - the kinetic energy of the molecule depending on its mass and velocityrotational energy - the energy of the spinning of the moleculevibrational energy - the energy of the atoms of the molecule vibrating closer and further from one another - stretching and compressing the bonds. The flexing/bending of the bonds is a special case of this. Of course there is energy in the bonds themselves which when broken can be a source of energy and when formed store energynuclear energy - the binding energies in the nucleus of each atom. Unless you are looking at nuclear decay or some other kind of nuclear reaction, this is not normally an energy you consider when thinking about energy held in a molecule


What is the phenomenon that explains the movement of any kind of molecule from areas of higher concentration to ones of lower concentration?

Diffusion is the phenomenon that explains the movement of any kind of molecule from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration. This process occurs due to the random motion of molecules and is driven by the concentration gradient to achieve equilibrium.


What kind of spider has a distinctive line running down its back?

The kind of spider that has a distinctive line running down its back is called a "striped spider."


What kind of a molecule is the end product of the Calvin cycle?

The end product of the Calvin cycle is a three-carbon sugar molecule called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). This molecule can be used to produce glucose and other carbohydrates, which serve as a source of energy for the plant.

What kind of molecule performs chemical digestion in the stomach?

Protein is the only nutrient broken down in the stomach. This is because only protease enzymes are present in the stomach acid.


What is made up of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical reactions?

An element is made up of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical reactions. Each element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its unique properties.

What kind of bonds are broken when HCl vaporizes?

When HCl vaporizes, the bonds that are broken are the ionic bonds between hydrogen and chlorine in the HCl molecule. These bonds are broken as the molecules transition from a liquid to a gas state.

Why does pepsin not digest sucrose?

Sucrose is a type of carbohydrate. Pepsin is a protease, so it can only digest proteins, because enzymes are specific to one kind of molecule. Sucrose would be broken down by a carbohydrase.


Food is a source of energy What kind of energy is it?

Food provides the body with chemical energy in the form of calories. When we digest food, it is broken down into nutrients that our bodies can use to fuel various biological processes and activities.
