What major class of macromolecules does ATP belong are?
Nucleic acid
59 What is the major energy carrier molecule in most cells?
ATP (adenosine Triphosphate)
Which macromolecule is used as main source of energy for a cell?
Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body.They are one of the four types of Macromolecules which are: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic Acids, and Lipids.
Why must human body digest large macromolecules into small monomers before it can use them as an energy source?
In most cases of digesting macromolecules, the process of degrading a large molecule, or breaking the bonds, is in fact what releases the energy. The quick easy energy for a cell is from the break down of glucose via cellular respiration. The cell uses the energy of the bonds holding glucose together to produce ATP, ATP then serves as an energy currency for cells. I would recommend looking at a diagram for the electron transport chain, it explains the mechanism by which ATP is formed, ATP is then used for energy. A simpler answer would be that the macromolecules are too large to pass through the cell membranes.
What two macromolecules are used as the primary source of energy for cellular functions?
The molecule that is the primary source of energy in all cells is ATP, which is definitely not a macromolecule. The molecule that is the primary source of energy in cells for making ATP from ADP is glucose, which is definitely not a macromolecule. Macromolecules that can be metabolized for energy (starches, fatty acids, proteins) are only secondary or tertiary sources of energy as the process of extracting energy from them is slow and inefficient.
What major class of macromolecules does ATP belong are?
Nucleic acid
Which class does ATP belong to out of the four classes of organic compounds?
Nucleic Acids
What are the macromolecules that make up your main source of energy?
ATP. Adenosine Triphosphate.
What category of macromolecules is ATP?
ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate and used in cells as a coenzyme that transfers energy within the cell. It is related to one of the bases and DNA and used over again. By ATPase do you mean ATP synthase, if so this is an enzyme that speeds up the production of making ATP from ADP + P.
What macromolecules has the most energy in terms of calories for the production of ATP?
That is the lipids. Second one is carbohydrates
What 3 organic macromolecules are often utilized to make ATP by cellular respiration?
Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
What macromolecules can be broken down in the body and used to produce ATP?
The blue ones!
Which of the following macromolecules can't be broken down in the body and used to produce ATP proteins vitamins carbohydrates or fat?
vits
What is the name of the organelle involved in the oxygen requiring process by which the energy in the macromolecules is stored in ATP?
That would be the 'mitochondria'...
What are the macromolecules that store energy?
In the mitochondria. It's the "powerhouse" of the cell.
Whst kind of energy is used by cells to do work?
Cells require energy and this energy is synthesised by the mitochondria in the form of ATP .ATP is the main energy source for the majority of cellular functions. This includes the synthesis of macromolecules, including DNA and RNA and proteins . ATP also plays a critical role in the transport of macromolecules across cell membranes, e.g. exocytosis and endocytosis i hope this helps :D Arfah Naseem
What is the bodies major fuel?
ATP
