How much of the available energy stored in glucose is converted to ATP?
About 67& of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP. The rest is lost as heat.
Where a molecule gives up electrons and releases energy?
This process occurs during oxidation, where a molecule loses electrons and energy is released. Oxidation reactions are important in cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to release energy for the cell to use.
Excess glucose is converted to another type of sugar called what?
glucose is converted into a sugar called sucrose Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. It is released as needed between meals.
What percentage of the energy of glucose is transferred to the storage of ATP as a result of the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water in cellular respiration?
Approximately 38% of the energy in glucose is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration. The rest of the energy is released as heat.
What is the role of the electron transport chain in either mitochondria or chloroplasts?
In oxidation process an electron/electrons aretransferredfrom the elements, who have extra of them in there outer orbit to those who have less in there outer orbit. This way both of them get, what they want and stable molecule is produced.So when sodium or potassium burns in oxygen, then this is called oxidation. When they burn in, say in chlorine then again this is called as oxidation. In oxidation process energy is released and more the energy released per 'moles' ofparticipants more stable the compound is formed. In biological oxidation oxidation of glucose occurs in about 22 steps.(At few times reduction also.) So little energy istransferredto another taker molecule in each step. This system of 'taking' energy is about 40 % effective only and rest is converted into heat energy. This 40 % energy is also going to get converted into heat energy after use of energy in various metabolic processes. So in chemical burning there is 'sudden' transfer of electron giving energy in 'one stroke'. Net energy is equal in both. Not a photon more or less. Obviously in photosynthesis in chloroplast there is step wise 'reduction' in electron transport 'chain' of carbon bi oxide and water molecules to form glucose molecule. Energy is consumed in the form of 'Light' falling on the chloroplast. This is 'exactly' same as much released during oxidation of glucose molecule. (Law of conservation of chemical energy.)
Does oxidation of glucose yield more energy than glycogen?
No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
What is the Percent of glucose energy converted to ATP?
About 40% of the energy derived from glucose is converted to ATP through cellular respiration. The rest is released as heat.

About 67& of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP. The rest is lost as heat.
What percentage of energy in glucose is released as heat?
Approximately 40% of the energy in glucose is released as heat during cellular respiration. The rest of the energy is converted into ATP, which is used by the cell for various functions.

This process occurs during oxidation, where a molecule loses electrons and energy is released. Oxidation reactions are important in cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to release energy for the cell to use.
Would the formation of ATP molecules from glucose oxidation be an example of energy transformation or conversion?
Yes. It is a good example of energy transformation or conversion. In this energy stored in glucose molecule is released in small pockets. And stored in 38 ATP molecules. Here ADP molecule get converted into ATP molecule. When energy is required, ATP molecule is reconverted into ADP molecule.
What is difference in energy produced in biological oxidation and chemical oxidation of glucose?
Glucose getconvertedto carbon bi oxide and water molecule, during oxidation in both the biological oxidation and chemical oxidation. One glucose molecule gives 6 carbon bi oxide and 6 water molecules.(C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + H2O.) In biological oxidation glucose is broken down in step wise manner. In about 22 steps, energy is released. So cell does not get burned due to sudden release of energy. So this is like, you come down from the two story building via staircase, step by step. So you do notinjure yourself. In chemical oxidation glucose burn in one step only. So it is like jumping from the two story building. You will get injured. In biological oxidation, you get the intermediate products of low energy. (At few times high energy.) As ultimate products of both biological oxidation and chemical oxidation are same, the energy released is same. Not a photon more or less, provided temperature of glucose and temperature and pressure of end products is same. In biological oxidation, you get some energy stored in body in the form of ATP molecules. Which is utilized for various metabolic processes, required by cell. Rest is released in the form of heat. That is also useful to maintain body temperature. This is in accordance to the Law ofconservationof energy in chemical reactions. It remains constant and can change the form of energy.
Does food give the body energy?
It contains some sort of sugar called glucose or starch. When we eat it, the glucose or starch is released. When respiration(sugar+oxygen converted into carbon dioxide+energy+water) occurs, energy is released.
