POLYMERIZATION occurs in many "ways, shapes and forms." Amino acids polymerize into protein chains; phosphate and ribose sugar polymerize into the DNA 'backbone'; and Glucose monomers polymerize to form cellulose in plants [alpha linkage] and glycogen [beta linkage] elsewhere.

How is energy released from food molecules?
cellular respiration.
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.
Do ortho nitro phenol and para nitro phenol have hydrogen bonding in their molecules?
Otho nitro phenols have intra cellular H bonds.Para nitro phenols have inter cellular H bonds.
How do water molecules move?
On the molecular level, water molecules move more or less randomly, driven mostly by entropy. On the cellular level, water follows solute concentration. This is the basis of osmosis and diffusion.
What are cellular organelles which use chemical energy stored within the covalent bonds of organic molecules to produce ATP?
potential energy
What accurately describes the function of a metabolic pathway involved in cellular respiration?
The function of glycolysis is to begin catabolism by breaking glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, with a net yield of two ATP.
What is the process that release energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen?
cellular respiration
What term describes the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?
Fermentation!!!!!
What describes the ain role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?
It produces molecules of atp
which of the following describes the main role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?
it produces molecules of ATP. apex
What does cellular reperation mean?
Cellular respirtaion is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen. The equation for Cellular respiration is: 6O2+ C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2+6H2O+ Energy
How do you describe the process of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.cellular respiration- process that release energy by breaking down glucose and food molecule in the presence of oxygen.
The cellular process of breaking down foods to release energy?
Cellular respiration is the specific cellular process that breaks down food to make energy. Catabolism is the general process that breaks molecules down to release energy.
What best describes the difference between photosynthesis in the chloroplast and cellular respiration in the mitochondiria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
What is process called when plants and animals break up sugar releasing energy?
. The breaking down of the large polysaccharide molecules are done by hydrolysis reactions. Hydro meaning water, and lysis meaning breaking. Breaking with water.
What is respiritation?
Cellular respiration is the process of breaking food molecules such as glucose to carbon dioxide and water. The energy that is released is trapped in the form of ATP for the cell to later use.
Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of carbon dioxide?
food moleculesPrimary substrate is glucose.Other molecules can enter into chain in later parts
