Why do lipid produce more ATP than glucose even though they have same number of carbon?
Lipids don't have the same number of carbon atoms as glucose -- glucose has six while a lipid triglyceride can have a number exceeding 60 carbons. The reason it makes more ATP than glucose is because there are more chemical bonds to be broken as they are relatively large molecules.
Energy is stored in covalent bonds when they are formed, and is released when they are broken. The release of energy can be used to bind a phosphate (Pi) to a molecule of ADP (adenosine diphosphate, with two phosphate groups), creating ATP (adenosine triphosphate, with three phosphates). The greater number of bonds in the molecule, the greater amount of energy released, so more ATP can be synthesized.

Which element has atomic number 6?
There is no element with that atomic mass according to the periodic table, though the isotopes He-6, Be-6, and Li-6 are possible, but extremely rare.
What is the equivalent weight of glucose?
Equivalent weight = molecular weight / # or positive or negative charges resulting from dissolution = 44/2 = 22
What monosaccharide is found in fruit?
fructoseThe monosaccharide responsible for sweet taste in fruit is fructose also known as levulose or fruit sugar.
What is he chemical formula of a diamond?
C, its a pure carbon compound with no definite number of Carbons since the entire structure of a diamond is one lattice, therefore a diamond is just carbon.
What gas do we breathe small amounts of it out?
We breathe out the nitrogen and the oxygen in the air - though the amount of oxygen that goes out is less than the amount that goes in, since part of it is absorbed by our lungs.We also breathe out carbon dioxide, which is a result of our metabolism.
What chemical does Glucose produce?
Glucose undergoes cellular respiration to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as an energy source for cells. This process involves the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water along with the release of energy.
Is carbon dioxide water and glucose are all elements?
No, water and glucose are solutions. Carbon dioxide is an element though.
Does algae produce carbon dioxide?
Yes, algae can produce carbon dioxide through respiration when they consume oxygen for energy production. However, algae also absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight.
What inorganic molecules make up glucose?
Inorganic molecules are usually defined as any molecule that doesn't contain the element carbon. There are some exceptions, such as carbon dioxide, which is usually defined as inorganic, even though it contains carbon and is a product of some biological reactions.
Why is sunlight important to survival though photosynthesis?
because without sunlight plants wont be able to produce glucose, which is their food.
Does the sun breathe?
No. As far as I know the sun doesn't breath. It might produce carbon dioxide though.
Which element has atomic number 6?
There is no element with that atomic mass according to the periodic table, though the isotopes He-6, Be-6, and Li-6 are possible, but extremely rare.
How are aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are related?
They can be thought of as the 'reverse' of each other (though their repective biochemical pathways are in no ways similar) and are the two halves of the carbon cycle. Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose +Oxygen
What is the reactant and product in cellular respiration?
In the equation for cellular respiration the reactants, which go into the equation, are glucose and oxygen. The products, that come out of the equation, are carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.
How are photosynthesis and respirations are alike?
Answer: Davidmt1: They're opposites. Resperation takes in oxygen uses it to produce energy and then releases carbon dioxide. While photosynthesis draws in carbon dioxide uses it too produce energy then releases oxygen. So even though they both create energy their processes are opposites.
How plants obsorb carbon dioxide?
Plants absorb CO2 for the creation of glucose in photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6 H20 = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 So if you put in six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules you get one glucose molecule and six oxygen molecules in return. Glucose is used by plants to respirate, like animals. Plants don't just absorb CO2, though, they also use it. Like other living creatures, when they respirate they turn Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide.
How come plants produce oxygen even though they need oxygen for respiration?
Plant use carbon-dioxide for respiration. They absorb the carbon molecules and release the oxygen molecules into the air.
