The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.

What is the maening of respiration?
it converts energy in food into a more usable form
Can glucose pass through visking tube?
fine glucose molecules can pass through the wall of the visking tube.
What type of molecules insulin?
Insulin is a hormone released by the beta cells in your pancreas, when there is glucose (sugar) in your blood. Insulin goes through the blood stream and basically tells the cells of the body that there is glucose in the blood stream. and the cells respond to it by stopping glucagon breakdown, start making glucagon, taking up glucose into the cells with glucose transporters. A hormone is a molecule that is released in one part of the body, but works in another.
What can leaves make?
Leaves can actually make their own food through a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS they need lots of things to make some food like glucose oxygen sunlight and many more ;)
What are the products of hydrolysis of maltose?
When a molecule of lactose is hydrolyzed the monomers that had linked together to form lactose will be pulled away from each other through the addition of lactose. Lactose is made from GLUCOSE AND GALACTOSE, henceforth these two monomers will emerge through the hydrolysis of lactose. Hope this helps...
What does glucose oxidation not yield?
oxidation of glucose, is the breakdown of glucose in ATP through four main process 1) glycolysis 2) preparation of pyruvic acid 3) citric acid cycle and 4) oxidative phosphorylation
Why is lactic acid called intermediate breakdown product of glucose?
Lactic acid is the painful product of a good workout. It is what builds up in your muscles and makes them burn. The acid is called an intermediate breakdown because it is only part of the process that glucose goes through in the human body.
Mitochondria gets energy from glucose through what process of?
Mitochondria gets energy from glucose through the process of Cellular Respiration.The process by which ATP is manufactured from glucose is called cellular respiration.
Which energy releasing process would be best if you needed a lot of energy?
Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen, releasing energy through glucose and other foods. It is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen.
Where in your body does the blood pick up glucose?
After we had the food, first nutrient that is separated out is glucose and this process is carried out at the intestine.If not food is take for long time (when fasting), the blood glucose level will drops and thus insulin secretion is also low on no. Then the liver start releasing glucose into the blood stream by converting stored glucogen to glucose.
Energy from glucose is released in the process of?
Mitochondria gets energy from glucose through the process of cellular respiration.
How does the muscle continue to contract in the absence of oxygen?
The muscle continues to contract in the absence of oxygen through Glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm of a cell. It is called an anaerobic process, because it does not require oxygen.
What begins mechanical breakdown of food through mastication?
The mechanical breakdown of food starts with the saliva in your mouth.
What is the main source for cells?
ATP. ATP is derived from a breakdown of glucose through various processes (glycolysis and TCA cycle).
What is the process through which plants make glucose?
Photosynthesis is the process where plants turn sunshine and carbon dioxide into glucose. Of course water is also essential.
Where in the body does the digestion process begin?
The digestive process begins in the oral cavity, with the mechanical breakdown of material by the teeth and tongue and some sugar breakdown through the actions of amylase in the saliva.
