Why can the complex sugar cellulose store more energy than sugar glucose?

Cellulose has more chemical bonds. It consists of many glucose molecules joined together. However we don't usually think of cellulose as a sugar. It is more properly called a polysaccharide.

What is the structural carb found in plants?
Glycogen, another polymer of glucose, is the polysaccharide used by animals to store energy. Excess glucose is bonded together to form glycogen molecules, which the animal stores in the liver and muscle tissue as an "instant" source of energy. Glycogen The Glycogen Molecule
What do plants store as food for us?
Plants store the food in the form of starch, glucose and cellulose ...
Which of these is a form of energy stored in a plant?
starch (roots, corn etc), sugars, oils, esters, cellulose.
Which substance is used by the body to store energy?
Answer: Glucose is one. Answer: Glucose, fat, and carbohydrates.
Does mitochondria release or store energy?
It release energy. It releases using Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2).Mitochondria release energy in glucose. Then it stores this energy in ATP
Why can the complex cellulose store more energy than the sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
Why can the complex sugar cellulose store energy than sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
Why can the complex sugars cellulose store more energy than the sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
Why can more complex suger cellulose store more energy than the sugar glucose?
cellulose has more chemical bonds
Why can sugar cellulose store more energy than the sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
Do Plants store glucose as cellulose?
No. They store glucose as starch, once its been converted into cellulose the change is permanent.
What happens to the energy stored in an autotroph when it is eaten by a heterotroph?
Autotrophs store energy in long chains of glucose molecules. These chains can be either starch or cellulose, depending on how the glucose are connected. When a heterotroph consumes the autotroph, it breaks down the cellulose or starch into its basic glucose components. The consumer either completely breaks down the glucose for energy, or it stores the molecules as fat or glycogen.

Which process is directly used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose?
Photosynthesis is used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose.
Why does a plant need to make glucose?
glucose is the primary source of energy. ATP's cannot store a lot of energy so the plats use glucose (C6H12O6) to store their energy.
