How many ATP molecules could be produced per glucose molecules fed to a poisoned animal?

38 ATP molecules are produced from the break down of a gluecose molecule


What process ocurres in the mitochondria and truns food into energy for the animal?

Aerobic respiration is the process.It releases the glucose's energy through oxidation.


What molecules get transported around an animal cell?

oxygen, water carbon dioxide, proteins glucose/ carbohydrates


What is produced when sugar is digestived in an animal cell?

When sugar is digested in an animal cell, it is broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose is then used as a source of energy to fuel the cell's activities through the process of cellular respiration. Additionally, excess glucose may be stored in the form of glycogen for later use.

When sugar is digested in an animal cell, it is broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose is used by the cell to produce energy through cellular respiration. Additionally, any excess glucose can be stored as glycogen for later use.


What is the different between animal and plant starch?

Animals do not store glucose in starch molecules, but rather in glycogen molecules. Starch molecules have infrequent branching of glucose chains and as such are not readily broken down into glucose monomers by the enzymes that catalyze the reaction. Glycogen molecules follow the same basic structure as starch molecules, but instead have more branching and consequently are broken down easier. This allows for quicker "burst" energy and is better suited to animals' mobility.


Starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store what in order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant?

In order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant, starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store glucose. Cells require sugar or glucose as a source of energy for many different functions.


Is glycogen a functional protein?

Actualy glycogen is not a protein but it is a polymer of glucose molecules stored in animal bodies and used as energy source when needed.


Why respiration in animal body considered an exothermic reaction while photosynthesis in green plants is considered an endothermic process?

In respiration of animals glucose molecules breaks up releases amount of energy heat is given out thats why it is exothermic.but in plants it absorbs sunlight heat is used for preparing food so it is endothermic.


What molecules must be present in order for energy production to occur in the mitochondria of an animal cell?

Oxygen and glucose are the raw materials. Enzymes guides the process


What molecules are storage forms of glucose in plant and animal cells?

The storage form is called glycogen and is usually found in the liver.


How is photosynthesis an cellular respiration different?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which cells break down glucose molecules to produce ATP energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Essentially, photosynthesis captures energy and stores it in glucose, while cellular respiration releases energy from glucose.
