Digestion breaks down large food particles into small molecules like fatty acids, amino acids, nucleic acids, and sugars. Cellular respiration breaks down small molecules to release their energy and store it in the form of an accessible energy carrier, ATP.

The series of chemical reactions in which a molecule of glucose is broken down is called?
The part of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down is called the glycolysis. The chemical energy to produce ATP come from the breakdown of carbon based molecules into the smaller molecules.
How are polymers built and broken down?
The breaking down of some complex molecules, such as polymers, occurs through a process known as hydrolysis.Hydrolysis takes place in the presence of water containing an acid or a base as catalyst. The water causes polymers to breakdown to monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Does Decomposition mean the same as synthesis?
== == No because,In a chemical reaction a compound is broken down into simpler compounds, or even into element, While as in synthesis or combination reaction, different elements or molecules reacts in a sequence to form a compound.---- Synthesis includes reactions that form larger, more complex biomolecules from smaller ones. Biosynthesis consumes free energy because the products are higly ordered and contain more chemical energy. In decomposition reactions, larger molecules break down into smaller molecules. Free energy is released from the breakdown of molecules.
Do catabolic reactions use energy to synthesize large molecules?
No, anabolic reactions build larger molecules from smaller molecules.
Chemical processes store and release what in the bonds of molecules.?
energy
In a cell breakdown of molecules in order to release energy occurs in the?
Mitochondria.
What is the different between digestion and respiration?
Digestion is the breakdown of absorbed substances, Respiration, on the other hand, is the breakdown of food molecules with a release of energy.
What is The first stage of the breakdown of sugar molecules for energy?
The first stage of the breakdown of sugar molecules for energy is glycolysis. The sugar molecules are broken down by enzymes, releasing energy in the process.
What process provides the energy used make ATP from ADP?
the breakdown of food molecules
Why is cellular respiration anabolism?
Anabolism means to build up molecules from smaller, simpler substances in the body. Hence some bodybuilders take anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass. Cellular respiration is the breakdown of fuel molecules eg glucose, to release energy. Breakdown reactions are called catabolism (catabolic reactions). So respiration in cells is catabolic, not anabolic.
Process of releasing energy through the breakdown of glucose?
The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.
What process provides the energy to make ATP from ADP?
the breakdown of food molecules
What provided the energy used to make ATP from ADP?
the breakdown of food molecules
How does food provide a source of energy of living things?
The breakdown of food molecules releases energy to cells.
How does food provide a source of energy for living things?
The breakdown of food molecules releases energy to cells.
Is a polymerization anabolism or catabolism?
Polymerization can be anobolic or catabolic when it is taking place in biomolecules.Anabolic if, set of metabolic pathways lead to construct molecules from smaller units which require energy and catabolic if, set of pathways break down molecules into smaller units and release energy.
When chlorophyll a molecules absorb energy the molecules?
release electrons and energy
