Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
Which of the following does not serve as a source of acids in the body?
aerobic breakdown of glucose
Cellulose and starch are both polymers of glucose yet most mammals can use starch but not cellulose as a source of fuel?
mammals have very specific enzymes, one that breaks down starch and another that breaks down glycogen. however, the human digestive system does not have an enzyme to break down the polymer cellulose. cellulose is a straight-chain polysaccharide with glucose-glucose linkages different from those in starch or glycogen. some herbavores such as cattle, rabbits, termites, and giraffes have specially developped stomachs and intestines that hold enzyme-producing bacteria or protozoa to aid in the breakdown of cellulose. it is the different glucose-glucose linkages that make cellulose different from starch. recall that, when glucose forms a ring structure, the functional groups attached to the ring are fixed in a certain orientation above or below the ring. our enzymes are specific to the orientation of the functional groups, and cannot break down the glucose-glucose linkages found in cellulose.
What are the reactants and products of carbohydrate breakdown?
During carbohydrate breakdown, the reactants are salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase. The products are maltose, glucose, fructose and fiber.
What atmospheric molecule is required for the complete breakdown of glucose?
The atmospheric molecule is the diatomic Oxygen molecule, O2.
Which of the following enzymes is not required to breakdown glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules for further metabolism?
All of these enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules.
What contains enzymes in the breakdown of glucose and generation of ATP?
The Mitochondria
What kind of organic compounds that function in building tissues and acting as enzymes?
Two organic compounds that act as enzymes are maltase and amylase. Amylase is involved in the breakdown of starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides, which are then broken down into glucose by other enzymes. Maltase is involved in the breakdown of the disaccharide maltose, a disaccharide formed when starch is broken down.
What contains enzymes used in the breakdown of glucose and generation of ATP?
Mitochondria
What enzymes are involved in digesting starch to glucose?
Amylase, found predominantly in saliva.
What makes cooked chewed rice tastes sweet?
The saliva has enzymes that helps breakdown the starch and glucose that makes it sweet.
How is food broken down by mitochondria?
They oxidize glucose into CO2.Many enzymes are involved in the process
What is the role of the enzymes of the digestive system in the complete breakdown of starch?
amylase (starch) to maltose maltase maltose to glucose Hydrolysis (of) Glycosidic bonds
Is electron transport the first step in the breakdown of glucose?
No it is actually the final step in the breakdown of glucose
What do digestive enzymes do to foods?
neutralise the acidic or basic effects of the foods. kill germs and other micro organisms. breakdown the food into simple sugars or glucose
What do digestive enzymes do to food?
neutralise the acidic or basic effects of the foods. kill germs and other micro organisms. breakdown the food into simple sugars or glucose
Adiponectin is involved in regulating what in the human body?
The Apidonectin is a protein in the human body that has two jobs. It is involved in the process of regulating glucose levels and the breakdown of fatty acids.
