Which Luciferin is broken down in cells controlled by?
an enzyme
What is the process in which the break down of sugars in living things returns carbon to the atmosphere as co2?
Cells first undergo glycolysis, where sugars are broken down into Pyruvic Acid. That pyruvic acid is used in two forms of processes: aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which use oxygen and no oxygen respectively. Aerobic Respiration is what the human body relies on since it creates the most ATP. [:
Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
Aged and damaged erythrocytes are broken down by the?
Age and damaged (senescent) red blood cells (erythrocytes) are broken down and recycled by the spleen, although the liver also plays an important role.
How do cells acquire food energy?
Cells aquire food energy through a process called cellular respiration. This can be aerobic (with Oxygen as the final electron acceptor) or anaerobic (with some other organic molecule like pyruvate as the final electron acceptor). Aerobic respiration can be further broken down into the steps of 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Krebs Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain It can also take place as photosynthesis but that is a slightly different mechanism Anaerobic Respiration can take place where there is no oxygen available(such as insidee muscles). This is called fermentation(yes the same kind we have to thank for alcohol...God bless anaerobic bacteria).
Do cells carry on respiration?
Yes. Because all cells need to release energy when food it broken down.
What cells of your body usually go through which type of respiration?
Most cells in the body perform aerobic respiration, where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy. However, during intense exercise or in the absence of oxygen, some cells can switch to anaerobic respiration, where glucose is broken down without oxygen, leading to the production of lactic acid.
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
When animals store energy in starch when energy is needed what can these molecules be broken down into?
Starch molecules can be broken down into glucose molecules when energy is needed. Glucose is a simple sugar that can be easily converted into energy by cells through the process of cellular respiration.
Where is respiration in an animal cell?
Respiration is the process by which oxygen is delivered from the external environment to the cells for cellular exchange. Most occurs in the lungs of the animal
What chemical is broken down by respiration?
The chemical broken down by respiration is glucose. During the process of respiration, glucose is converted into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through a series of biochemical reactions.
The process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds?
The process you are referring to is cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, organic compounds such as glucose are broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, which is the cell's energy currency. This process occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.
Why must food be digested?
Digestion is necessary because for energy from the food to be released and carried into the cells in our body the food must be broken down into soluble molecules for it to diffuse into the cells. Then energy is released during respiration.
What is broken down into CO2 and H2O during cellular respiration?
Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) during cellular respiration to release energy. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source.
How is glucose stored in leaves?
When glucose gets broken down in animals and plants during respiration, stored energy is released in cells.
What chemical reaction in cells need oxygen to release energy?
The process that requires oxygen to release energy in cells is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, which is the main energy source for cells.
What is broken down in the process of respiration?
Oxygen
