Infact it should. It is a common misconception that because Glucose is a monosaccharide that it should provide a higher rate of respiration as it does not need to be broken down, unlike sucrose. However, the method the glucose enters the yeast enters the cell is by facillitated diffusion and this requires carrier proteins. When glucose is being absorbed, there will be a point where the rate reaches it's maximum, i.e. all the carrier proteins are being used. When sucrose is the substrate, it is split into glucose and fructose. When all the carrier proteins are used transporting glucose, different proteins are used for fructose (due to the tertiary structure of the protein) so the composite monosaccharides of sucrose can enter the yeast at a higher rate. Hence the rate is faster.
What else can I help you with?
Do enzymes change starch into glucose?
Yes they do. Enzymes change starch into glucose for cellular respiration.
Is starch used in cellular respiration?
can be changed into glucose and used in cellular respiration.
What does the breakdown of starch produce?
The breakdown of starch produces glucose molecules, which can be used by cells as a source of energy through cellular respiration.
In the body starch breaks down to form what?
starch molecule degraded to disaccharides and trisaccharides by amylases and ultimately these will make glucose(which will be used as energy providing nutrient by cells).
Why is starch an indirect measurement of photosynthesis?
Starch is a plants way of storing energy, why it is not a way of measurement as starch levels is determined by how much extra light, once the plant receives enough light it will turn glucose into starch. Starch levels however could be used for the opposite, by measuring starch & glucose you can work out the rate of respiration, just not photosynthesis.
Do enzymes change starch into glucose?
Yes they do. Enzymes change starch into glucose for cellular respiration.
Is starch used in cellular respiration?
can be changed into glucose and used in cellular respiration.
How does eating pasta lead to cellular respiration?
We digest the starch to glucose, which is sent to the cells where it is the fuel for respiration.
What does the breakdown of starch produce?
The breakdown of starch produces glucose molecules, which can be used by cells as a source of energy through cellular respiration.
Does glucose contain starch?
Glucose is one of the most important carbohydrates. It is used in respiration in our bodies and photosynthesis in plants. Its symbol equation is C6H2O6 and it contan Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What does Starch change into before respiratory ATP production?
Starch is broken down into glucose molecules before being further metabolized through glycolysis to produce ATP during cellular respiration.
Why is the digestion of starch to glucose necessary?
Starch is a complex carbohydrate therefore it cannot be used and is insoluble unless it is broken down. Also the body requires glucose for important metabolic functions (respiration) to provide energy for the body, starch cannot be used for this process.
In the body starch breaks down to form what?
starch molecule degraded to disaccharides and trisaccharides by amylases and ultimately these will make glucose(which will be used as energy providing nutrient by cells).
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
What is the monomer of the polymer starch?
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
Why 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.
