A sugar which is broken down in a series of steps to gain the energy to make ATP is?

The process of producing ATP is called cellular respiration. This is done by breaking down glucose into carbon dioxide and water and releasing the chemical energy in the bonds.

What carries on anaerobic respiration?
in anaerobic respiration, sugar is broken down into carbon dioxide, ethyl alcohol and 28 cal of energy. this happens in the absence of o2 in microbes
What is photosynthasis?
photosynthesys is the process of plants to make food. this happens due to the chlorophyll that gets water and minerals, co2 and light to make sugar, which the plant consumes. this process generates o2, which we breathe. photosinthesis is a light driven series of a chemical reactions that convert the energy poor compound,carbohydrate to energy rich sugar.
What is the gulucose?
Gulucose is a monosaccharide sugar that has several forms; an important source of physiological energy
What happens to a guinea pig if you give it an energy drink?
Energy drinks contain sugar and caffeine both of which will make your guinea pig sick or worse. Do not allow your pet to consume energy drink in any amounts.
Why is ATP an important in metabolism?
The aim of metabolism is to release energy from substance such as glucose or triglycerides. ADP (adenosine di phosphate) acts as a carrier and is activated during respiration (another phosphate is added, using a phosphate bond). When energy is required somewhere in the body (metabolism), the bond is broken, turning ATP into adp and supplying the energy needs. Thus without ATP, there cannot be metabolism.
What makes sugar good for you?
Sugar can be broken down into energy for your body, but too much sugar is stored for long term energy as fat.
What is broken down your body that gives you energy sugar water salt or oxygen?
SUGAR!
What is The first stage of the breakdown of sugar molecules for energy?
The first stage of the breakdown of sugar molecules for energy is glycolysis. The sugar molecules are broken down by enzymes, releasing energy in the process.
Which part of the eukaryotic cell is where sugar is broken down into energy?
mitochondria
What is produced after sugar broken down in the cell?
CO2, H2O and energy.
What does sugar do for your body?
Our bodies need a fuel source. Sugars are very high in energy, and when broken down, we can use that energy to do bodily processes.
What happens to the sugar plants make?
They are broken down in respiration. Energy is obtained by that
What is the process in which sugar molecule's are broken down to release energy?
cellular respiration
What is the process in which sugar molecules are broken down release energy?
cellular respiration
Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
What is the function of sugar in a cell?
When we talk about sugar, we use the scientific word carbohydrates, which are a source of energy in our body. they have three major biochemical roles: -They are a source of stored energy that can be released in a form usable by organisms -They are used to transport stored energy within complex organisms -They serve as carbon skeletons that can be rearranged to form new molecules. (Sadava 2011) In our body, they are broken down in a series of chemical reactions to form energy, through glycolysis. there are 2 kind of pathways to form this energy from sugar: aerobic pathway and anaerobic pathways. In an aerobic pathway, oxygen is needed to break down completely the sugar into CO2 and water and energy in form of ATP (cellular respiration). In an anaerobic respiration, oxygen is not needed and sugar is broken down to lactic acid or alcohol and CO2 (fermentation). this is the main function of sugar in our body. Big sugar like glycogen, store glucose in the liver and muscles, serving as an energy storage. This glycogen is later broken down to liberate the stored energy. Therefore, sugar can store energy and give energy. Reference: Life, The Science of Biology, ninth edition (David Sadava et al.), 2011
What is a simple sugar that is broken down by cells in order to obtain stored chemical energy?
Glucose:)
