Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of cells to produce pyruvate. This series of reactions generates ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which can then enter the citric acid cycle for further energy production.
Proteins are broken down in the liver to produce urea as a waste product of protein metabolism.
Cellular respiration
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
Sugar is broken down with water to produce carbon dioxide. It is accompanied by release of chemical energy. This process is also termed respiration and is used in breathing process by animals.
In the reaction of respiration glucose and oxygen are broken down to produce carbon dioxide and water
Proteins are broken down in the liver to produce urea as a waste product of protein metabolism.
Blood sugar is broken down in muscle fibres to produce mechanical power, and in cells to produce heat.
ADP, Protein and Energy
Cellular respiration
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
Mitochondria! -produce ATP (energy)
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is broken down during Glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle during cellular respiration to produce ADP (Adenosine diphosphate).
Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are types of carbon compound that are broken to produce simple molecules like carbon-dioxide and water.
Carbohydrates are the food molecules that can be broken down to provide energy for organisms. During digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is then used by cells to produce ATP, the primary form of energy used by the body.
Sugar is broken down with water to produce carbon dioxide. It is accompanied by release of chemical energy. This process is also termed respiration and is used in breathing process by animals.
In the reaction of respiration glucose and oxygen are broken down to produce carbon dioxide and water
The release of energy from glucose occurs through a process called cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the universal energy currency of cells. This process releases energy that is used for various cellular activities.
