What is the maening of respiration?
it converts energy in food into a more usable form
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Give the biological significance of cell respiration?
Every cell in the body requires energy. It derives the energy by oxidation of sugars, fatty acids and proteins. Humans and animals have lungs and a circulatory system to deliver oxygen to every cell, as well as removing Carbon Dioxide and cellular waste.
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).
What is the relationship between your ability to do work with your muscles and anaerobic respiration?
ugh.
What is glucose used for in an organism?
Glucose is used as the primary source of energy for cellular activities in organisms, providing fuel for various metabolic processes. It is also utilized in the production of ATP, the energy currency of cells, through processes like glycolysis and cellular respiration. Additionally, glucose can be converted and stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use as an energy reserve.
What is the long term supply of glucose to cellular respiration?
The long-term supply of glucose to cellular respiration comes from the breakdown of complex carbohydrates stored in the body, such as glycogen in the liver and muscles, as well as from dietary sources. When glucose levels in the blood are low, the body can also convert other molecules, such as fats and proteins, into glucose through processes like gluconeogenesis.
What break down sugars to produce energy?
On a cellular level, it's broken down in the mitochondria. In terms of organs, liver and muscles store sugar in a form of glycogen until it's needed. Liver and muscles then convert glycogen into glucose.
What does cellular respiration use and make?
Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction where glucose and oxygen are broken down into carbon dioxide, water and heat energy. This is the energy that our body's need to survive. This reaction takes place in a cell called the mitochondria, often found in muscles
What does glucose turn in to?
Glucose is primarily converted into energy through cellular respiration, producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that can be used by cells for various functions. Excess glucose can also be converted and stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use.
Where do cardiac muscles produce ATP?
Cellular respiration
How does cellular respiration play a role in the body's energy production during exercise?
During exercise, cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. This energy is used by muscles to contract and perform physical activities. The increased demand for energy during exercise leads to an increase in cellular respiration to meet the body's energy needs.
When you exercise you breathe harder and faster. using your knowledge of organelles explain why this happen?
When you exercise, your muscles require more energy, which is generated through cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, more oxygen is needed to break down glucose and produce ATP in the mitochondria. The increased breathing rate ensures that sufficient oxygen is delivered to the cells and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of cellular respiration, is removed from the body.
How do animals use glucose?
Animals use glucose primarily as a source of energy. It is broken down through cellular respiration to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which fuels various cellular processes. Additionally, glucose can be stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use, or converted into fat for long-term energy storage. Overall, glucose is essential for maintaining metabolic functions and supporting growth and activity in animals.
What is the name of substance that is the chemical bi-product of turning glucose into ATP and what does it do to your muscles?
Lactic acid. It lets your muscles function with a lack of oxygen (anaerobic respiration instead of aerobic respiration).
What is the most abundent source of energy in the body?
The most abundant source of energy in the body is glucose, which comes from carbohydrates in the diet. Glucose is the primary source of fuel for the cells to generate energy through a process called cellular respiration. Excess glucose is stored in the form of glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use.
Resting skeletal muscles use glucose as a preferred energy source?
Yes, resting skeletal muscles primarily rely on glucose as an energy source. Glucose is broken down in a process called glycolysis to produce ATP, which is used for various cellular functions. During rest, when energy demands are low, glucose metabolism helps to maintain cellular processes and to store energy for future use.
