What molecule is used as cells as an energy source?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or ultimately it would be glucose.
What releases energy for a eukaryotic cell?
Mitochondria releases energy for the cells through cellular respiration. It is in both plant cells and animal cells, so both plants and animals release energy in the same way.
Which molecule is the immediate source of energy for cells?
phosphate
What molecule is synthesized by cells to provide energy?
Atp
Where in a molecule of ATP is the stored energy that is used by cells?
The energy in ATP is stored as potential energy in the triphosphate attached to the end. The molecule wants to remove one of the phosphates, when it does so, it releases large amounts of energy.
What is the organic molecule that stores and releases chemical energy for use in body cells called?
mitochondria
The major energy carrying molecule in the cell is what?
The primary energy carrying molecule in a cells is ATP. ATP is known as adenosine triphosphate which is an organic molecule that stores and releases energy, used in cellular processes.
What stores and releases energy for the cell?
ATP stores and transfers chemical energy in cells. The ATP molecule is very important in chemical processes as it will facilitate the energy required.
Which of cells organelles releases energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
What breaks down and releases energy into cells?
Actually, it takes energy to break down a molecule. But you can often get an even greater amount of energy when the fragments of the molecule that were broken down form new chemical bonds with other chemicals, especially oxygen.
Which of these is an energy carrier molecule by mitochondria?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy carrier molecule used by mitochondria. It stores and releases energy within cells, making it an essential molecule for various cellular processes. mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration, where energy from nutrients is converted into ATP.
What molecule carries out the major amount of energy for the cell?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
It releases energy in food that cells need?
mitochondrion
What releases food and energy that cells need?
mitochondria clown
What release energy stored in food?
The mitochondria releases energy stored in food which is in cells.
Do proteins in the cytoplasm process energy?
No, ATP is the energy molecule in cells.
Special molecule that provides energy for a cells activities?
CH2O (glucose) is the most fundamental molecule metabolized by cells (in conjunction with Oxygen) for energy.
