There is no specific structure that breaks down sugar. Sugar is broken down in a series of processes that start with glycolysis which occurs in the cytoplasm.

What provides the cell with energy from sugar?

The process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar molecules to release energy. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cell, where sugar molecules are oxidized to produce ATP, the cell's primary energy source.

What sugar is in a cell wall?

The sugar in a cell wall is primarily cellulose, a structural polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules linked together in chains. This cellulose provides rigidity and support to the cell wall, helping to maintain the shape and structure of the cell.


What are the differences between mannose and galactose?

Mannose and galactose are both monosaccharides, but they differ in their structure and function. Mannose is a 6-carbon sugar that is commonly found in glycoproteins and plays a role in cell-cell recognition and immune response. Galactose is also a 6-carbon sugar, but it is typically found in milk sugar (lactose) and plays a role in energy production and cell membrane structure.


What semi-rigid structure made of sugar is located outside the cell membrane and helps protect the cell?

It is called the cell wall, and is only present in plant cells.

What is a semi-rigid structure made out of sugar?

It's called a cellulose cell wall. It gives the plant its shape and prevents the cell from bursting when water osmosis happened... The word 'cellulose' means sugar.
