Glucose is a larger molecule that has many high energy bonds which store energy. ATP is a simple small molecule that contains only 1 high energy bonds.
This is why one glucose molecule will create several ATP molecules.

∙ 12y agoATP is "more usable" because it is the form in which the cell can fuel its metabolic processes. Glucose is essentially a raw material. It undergoes one or more metabolic pathways (Glycolysis, Oxidative Phosphorylation, etc.) in order to yield ATP molecules that are immediately usable as energy.
Think of of glucose as an ingredient in a process that yields the final, readily usable product: ATP.

∙ 12y agoBecause the formula for glucose is c6h12o6 therefore it has more energy then co2 because it is more saturated with hydrogens.

What is the formula for oxidative respiration?
Glucose plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide and water plus energy
What type of energy does the plant use to convert CO2 and H20 into sugar?
Plants use the energy from sunlight to convert co2 and h2o into glucose [sugar].
Is CO2 the equation for water or is h20?
It's Photosynthesis. Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy -> Glucose + Oxygen And for Accuracy's sake: CO2+H2O+Light -> C6H12O6+O2 Regards, Sahil
Where do trees use carbon dioxide?
Trees take in carbon dioxide through their leaves. Through the process of photosynthesis they use the energy contained in sunlight to cleave the carbon from the oxygen. The carbon gets fashioned into glucose for the plant to use and the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere.
Where does carbon dioxide come from in the body?
Aerobic metabolism; glucose and oxygen are converted to water and carbon dioxide to produce energy. So if you want to stop global warming, it helps to stop breathing.
Does glucose contain more energy than carbon dioxide and water?
yes
Word equation for BURNING Glucose?
Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy/ATP
What equation is right Carbon dioxide Water Energy Glucose Oxygen or carbon dioxide water food glucose energy oxygen?
in relation to what may i ask?
Chemical formulas for glucose oxygen and carbon dioxide?
For oxygen it is O2 for Glucose it is C6H12O6 and for Carbon dioxide it is CO2. When they react in the body to produce energy the equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy.
Differences between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration?
Aerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria with oxygen. Glucose + Oxygen --> Energy + Water + Carbon Dioxide Anaerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria without the presence of oxygen. Glucose -- > Energy + Carbon Dioxide -----by vigneshsherlekar Aerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria with oxygen. Glucose + Oxygen --> Energy + Water + Carbon Dioxide Anaerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria without the presence of oxygen. Glucose -- > Energy + Carbon Dioxide -----by vigneshsherlekar
Trace the path of oxygen water and carbon dioxide through the organelles?
When tracing the path of oxygen, water, carbon dioxide and glucose in the production of energy it will show that first oxygen and water enter the cell. Carbon dioxide and glucose are then produced in the cell and carbon dioxide is given off. Energy is also dispelled as glucose.
Why carbon dioxide good for plants?
Carbon dioxide allows plants to undergo the process photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water are turned into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Glucose is converted into ATP (energy) by the plant. The energy is used to conduct cellular processes.
Is glucose a source of energy?
yes. glucose metabolises and decomposes to form carbon dioxide, water with the release of energy
What is the formula of glucoes?
light + carbon dioxide = (photosynthesis) = glucose (energy)
What is the sentence for respiration?
It is: glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY
What is a word equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water --------> glucose + oxygen.
Which molecules are the products of aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water and energy are produced by aerobic respiration. The word equation for aerobic respiration is: Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy Energy and lactic acid are produced by anerobic respiration The word equation for anaerobic respiration is: Glucose --> energy + lactic acid
