How does energy get converted from food molecules to muscles?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
What is the energy source of the movement of flagella and cilia?
The energy source for flagella and cilia is the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule used throughout the cell. ATP gets its energy from glucose and glycerol, that is from food.
Where do muscles get the energy they need to do work?
The energy is produced through an aerobic process called oxidative phosphorylation. About 60% of energy comes from fatty acids and triglycerides and 35% from carbohydrates. The remaining 5% is from amino acids and ketone bodies. The oxidation is supported by myoglobins that store oxygen in the muscle.
Can living things produce energy?
ADP and ATP are used by living things to sore and supply energy. The energy originally comes from the Sun.
We do not use food's energy directly. Name the molecule that living things use for energy?
ATP, or Adenosine triphosphate.
What do organisms obtain in food for energy?
Organisms form ATP from food. ATP is called the "energy currency" of the cell. ATP is like a battery, it runs all the cell's functions.
Which process do the animals in the food web use to convert energy from food into ATP?
Cellular respiration is the process the animals in the food web use to convert energy from food into ATP.
A chemical compound transformed into ATP as food energy?
ADP is transformed into ATP.
What molecule is energy from food transferred to?
ATP
What happens to food in order for it to be stored in ATP?
Respiration should take place. There energy of food is stored in ATP
What is the approximate percentage efficiency of conversion of food energy to ATP energy in the body?
The body converts the chemical energy of food to the chemical energy of ATP with about 50 percent efficiency, radiating the rest as heat.
Cellular respiration can be described as the conversion of energy into what?
stored in food molecules to energy stored in ATP
Does ATP source energy?
Food is the ultimate source of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. Once ATP is formed, it is used as the main energy source of cells.
What is the source of energy regenerating ATP from ADP?
food
What process provides the energy used make ATP from ADP?
the breakdown of food molecules
Use your own words to summarize the production of ATP in the mitochondria?
The energy currency for the work that animals must do is the energy rich molecule ATP. The ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food.
How does energy transfer from food to body?
The food is first broken down into its simplest forms. The cellular organelle know as the mitochondria receives it and breaks it down even more producing ATP. ATP is the main energy source for the cell.
