pancreas since it is sugar
_______
The pancreas doest not break down glucose. Digestion of sugars start at the mouth where salivary amylase begins to act on starch. The digestion of the rest of the sugars occurs in the duodenum of the small intestine. The result of digestion is a mass of simple sugars like glucose. Then on the cellular level, glucose is first broken down in the cytoplasm via glycolysis. The products are then directed to the inter-membrane space where the Krebs Cycle occurs. Finally, the electron transport chain within the mitochondria will deliver the highest output of ATP using the products of both glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle.
So in short, glucose is actually broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What else can I help you with?
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
How are lipids catabolized in the body?
Lipids are catabolized through the process of beta-oxidation, where fatty acids are broken down into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle to produce energy. Triglycerides can also be broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, which can be further metabolized for energy production.
Is Glucose a component of all three dietary disaccharides?
No, glucose is a component of two dietary disaccharides: maltose (glucose + glucose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Sucrose (glucose + fructose) does not contain glucose.
What contains more energy glucose or pyruvate?
glucose
In a solution of glucose in water what is glucose?
Glucose is the solute; water is the solvent.
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
When glucose is catabolized under aerobic conditions will cross the mitochondrial wall and enter the Kreb's cycle?
Yes, when glucose is catabolized under aerobic conditions, it is converted to pyruvate through glycolysis in the cytoplasm. Pyruvate then enters the mitochondria where it is converted to acetyl-CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle to produce energy in the form of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
How is lactose catabolized via the glycolytic pathway?
Lactose is metabolized by the enzyme beta-galactosidase giving one molecule of galactose and one molecule of glucose.
How many ATP are produced when 121 glucose are catabolized aerobically by liver cells?
4114 ATP molecules. Because 1 Glucose can make 34 ATP molecules so 121*34=4114. Good luck !
Is glucose the only molecule that can be catabolized during cellular respiration?
No, in cellular respiration, molecules other than glucose can be catabolized for energy production. For example, fatty acids and amino acids can also be broken down through different metabolic pathways to generate ATP.
Which macronutrient can be catabolized for energy in absence of oxygen?
carbohydrate
During glycolosis when glucose is catabolized to pyruvate most of the energy of glucose is?
During glycolysis, most of the energy of glucose is conserved in the form of ATP and NADH. These high-energy molecules are produced through a series of enzymatic reactions that break down glucose into pyruvate. The ATP and NADH provide energy for cellular processes and are crucial for metabolism.
How does the body breakdown carbohrydrates?
Carbohydrates such as glucose for example are catabolized(break down) by certain metabolic pathways. Glycolysis pathway is the first step where glucose is converted to pyruvate. Subsequently, pyruvate undergo Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain to synthesis energy or ATP molecules. Disaccharide (sucrose as example) or Polysaccharides such as Glycogen are first converted to its monomeric forms such as glucose, fructose, galactose etc. before entering the above said pathways.
How are lipids catabolized in the body?
Lipids are catabolized through the process of beta-oxidation, where fatty acids are broken down into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle to produce energy. Triglycerides can also be broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, which can be further metabolized for energy production.
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
Is Glucose a component of all three dietary disaccharides?
No, glucose is a component of two dietary disaccharides: maltose (glucose + glucose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Sucrose (glucose + fructose) does not contain glucose.
Can you use glucose in a recipe that calls for liquid glucose?
glucose? i think glucose is a different thing than liquid glucose.
