What is the process of breaking down food to release energy?
In the body, large food molecules (eg. carbohydrates, proteins) are broken down by enzymes to form simpler substances. for example, carbohydrase enzymes break carbohydrates down into simple sugars such as glucose. glucose is then used in the process of cellular respiration, within the mitochondria. this process releases energy.
What does maltase break down?
two glucose molecules
What is a 6-carbon molecule that is broken down to make ATP?
glucose. it is broken in the cytoplasm
Breaking large molecules down into smaller molecules?
Enzymes
What molecule can break down into smaller molecules?
Yes. A molecule is made up of atoms, and similarly atoms can be broken down into smaller components called protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be further broken down into quarks and leptons, the building blocks for all matter.
What is glycogen broken down into?
Glycogen is broken down in the blood by the help of glucagon. It is then transferred into the cells by insulin.
What glucose molecules are broken down?
First stage only.
When large complex carbohydrates are broken down into individual molecules of sugar (glucose) is this a new substance being made?
Yes, it is correct.
When glucose is broken down how many molecules of CO2 are formed?
6
What do large insoluble molecules get broken down into?
Most large insoluble molecules get broken down in the digestive system to small (simpler) soluble molecules.
What is the end result of glycolysis that eventually feeds into the Krebs cycle?
A. Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
How did the glucose molecule get broken down and transported to a cell?
2 ATP molecules are used to break the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. Then the pyruvate travels to the mitochondria, where it is broken down further and produces 34 ATP molecules, which are used to power a cell.
What does your body get from sugars when broken down?
Glucose broken down in the C3 cycle generates a large amount of ATP.
What type of food molecule is broken down to glucose by digestion?
Sugars and starches are broken down into glucose.
What will slow down the reaction rate of maltose broken down into glucose molecules by the enzyme maltase?
diluting with water
What are the end products of starch hydrolysis?
When the starch is broken down, or hydrolyzed, the end product is glucose molecules.
