What else can I help you with?
What is the energy storage molecule produced by photosynthesis?
My guess would be ATP (short for Adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH
What are molecules that store energy?
Storage can happen with stable molecules, and ATP is not a stable molecule. It is the energy "currency"- as some like to refer to it. NADH and FADH are electron carriers. Starch (plants), glycogen (animals) are storage carbohydrates; triglycerides are storage lipids. Proteins and nucleic acids may also be used for energy, but the their catabolites are not good for the animal.
What polysaccharide is the form of short term energy storage for animals?
Glycogen is the polysaccharide that serves as the form of short-term energy storage for animals. It is stored mainly in the liver and muscles, where it can be quickly broken down into glucose for energy when needed.
Animal cells store excess sugar in the form of a polysaccharide called starch?
Actually, animal cells store excess sugar in the form of glycogen, not starch. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a short-term energy storage molecule in animals, while starch is commonly found in plants for energy storage.
Are proteins used for long term storage in cells?
No. ATP is the shortest term energy storage, carbohydrates are short to medium term storage and fats are longest terms storage. Proteins are used almost exclusively for building structural elements or cell functionality.
What is the energy storage molecule produced by photosynthesis?
My guess would be ATP (short for Adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH
What are functions of glycogen starch and cellulose?
Glycogen is a short-term energy storage molecule found in animals and humans. Starch is a carbohydrate storage molecule in plants, used for energy storage and as a food reserve. Cellulose is a structural component of plant cell walls, providing strength and rigidity to plant cells.
What is the main storage molecule in animals?
Animals have molecules that can store energy for short term and long term periods of time. Animals use carbohydrates as short term storage and Lipids as long term storage.
What is the temporary energy storage molecule for living cells?
For short-term energy storage, living beings use ATP.
What organic compound stores and releases short term energy?
The organic compound that stores and releases short-term energy in cells is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a high-energy molecule that can rapidly provide energy for cellular processes through the release of its phosphate groups.
Mitochondria uses which molecule to store energy?
The molecule produced by the mitochondria is the energy-carrier molecule. It's name is adenosine triphosphate, or ATP for short.
Why is ATP only good for short term storage?
the energy from atp is stored in its high-energy phosphate bonds, this energy is released when the bonds are broken therefore atp can only be used as a short term storage for energy
What provides short-term energy storage for animals?
Glycogen is the primary form of short-term energy storage in animals. It is stored in the liver and muscles and can be quickly broken down into glucose for energy during times of increased energy demand.
Where is energy stored in livng things?
Energy in living beings is stored as chemical energy. For long-term energy storage a sugar is used; for short-term energy storage, ATP.
What provides short term energy energy storage for plants?
Sugars
What polysaccharides is the form of short term energy storage in animals?
glycogen
