Most cells generate ATP and other high-energy compounds by breaking down carbohydrates—especially glucose. The complete reaction sequence can be summarized as follows:
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP in the mitochondrion. You can see that carbon dioxide, water and ATP are all produced.
The breakdown occurs in a series of small steps, several of which release sufficient energy to support the conversion of ADP to ATP. The complete catabolism of one molecule of glucose provides a typical body cell a net gain of 36 molecules of ATP.ATP production occurs inside mitochondria.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle controls oxygen levels?
Mitochondria are the organelles primarily responsible for regulating oxygen levels within cells. They facilitate aerobic respiration, where oxygen is used to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process not only consumes oxygen but also produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis. Additionally, mitochondria play a role in signaling pathways related to oxygen levels and cellular metabolism.
Is the mitochondria used for anaerobic respiration?
Yes. The mitochondria produces ATP by oxidizing the major products of glucose, pyruvate, and NADH in the presence of oxygen. Because oxygen is required, it is known as aerobic respiration. (anaerobic = no oxygen)
What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
Does the dark reactions of photosynthesis release oxygen?
Molecular oxygen is formed in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. This occurs in the electron transport chain in the protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane. The water splitting complex yields oxygen, hydrogen ions and electrons.
Will iron only rust if oxygen and water are presented?
Important is only the oxygen.
What does mitochondria do in a eukaryote cell?
Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP. They are the cell's biochemical 'power factories'
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
Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?
No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.
What function does oxygen have in the body?
oxygen is solely used by mitochondria in cells for energy, that is the only reason we need oxygen.
What organelle controls oxygen levels?
Mitochondria are the organelles primarily responsible for regulating oxygen levels within cells. They facilitate aerobic respiration, where oxygen is used to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process not only consumes oxygen but also produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis. Additionally, mitochondria play a role in signaling pathways related to oxygen levels and cellular metabolism.
Organisms without mitochondria are expected to produce how much fewer molecules?
They are anaerobic respirers. They produce only two
Is the mitochondria used for anaerobic respiration?
Yes. The mitochondria produces ATP by oxidizing the major products of glucose, pyruvate, and NADH in the presence of oxygen. Because oxygen is required, it is known as aerobic respiration. (anaerobic = no oxygen)
Does hydrogen leave residue on burning?
Nothing is left because hydrogen is an element, from which only water is formed when burning (explosively) with oxygen.
Does anaerobic exercise utilize oxygen for energy production?
it can produce energy in the presence and absence of oxygen unlike aerobic exercise which can only produce energy in the presence of oxygen
What is the only byproduct of fuel cells?
The only byproduct of fuel cells is water. When hydrogen is used as fuel, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce electricity, heat, and water vapor as the only emission.
Ingenhousz found that plants produce oxygen bubbles only in the presence of what?
Ingenhousz found that plants produce oxygen bubbles only in the presence of light. This process, known as photosynthesis, takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells and requires light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.
What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
