What are the products of hemoglobin breakdown?

Hemoglobin molecules liberated from red blood cells are broken down into subunits of heme, an iron containing portion, and globin, a protein. The heme further decomposes into iron and a greenish pigment called biliverdin. Biliverdin eventually is converted to an orange pigment called bilirubin.

Type of energy released when glucose is broken down?

The type of energy released when glucose is broken down is chemical energy. This energy is stored in the bonds of the glucose molecule and is released when those bonds are broken during cellular respiration to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for cellular functions.


What is released when the chemical when the chemical bond is broken between the second and third phosphate of an ATP molecule?

When the chemical bond between the second and third phosphate of an ATP molecule is broken, a high-energy phosphate bond is broken, releasing energy that is used for cellular activities. This process converts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate.
