Best Answer

Glucose metabolism begins with glycolysis and then proceeds to either the TCA (Krebs) cycle or fermentation. Glycolysis and fermentation are both anaerobic processes (they do not use oxygen) and use substrate level phosphorylation to produce ATP (e.g. energy), while the TCA cycle is aerobic (requires oxygen) and uses oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP. Substrate level phosphorylation produces much less ATP than oxidative phosphorylation.

The term metabolism is based on a greek word that means change. How is change related to metabolism?

You need energy for metabolism and energy is the ability to cause a change


Many carbon-based molecules are rearranged What molecule is made as a result of these reactions?

Glucose


The series of chemical reactions in which a molecule of glucose is broken down is called?

The part of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down is called the glycolysis. The chemical energy to produce ATP come from the breakdown of carbon based molecules into the smaller molecules.


During the Calvin cycle many carbon-based molecules are rearranged What molecule is made as a result of these reactions?

glucose


Photosynthesis produces what?

Photosynthesis produces glucose (C6H12O6) which is required by organisms for respiration, it also gives off bi-products of O2 and water, the oxygen is released into the atmosphere or recycled by the plant in its own respiration reactions.


What form of energy is sunlight converted to?

Solar energy can be converted into electricity using photo-voltaic cells which are piezo-electric components and create a current when they are in light. Solar energy is also converted to usable heat using water based solar panels connected to a buildings radiators or hot water supply. Solar energy can also be converted into potential energy by certain wavelengths energising electrons in an atom to move to a different energy level. This is normally released back as light but will be a certain colour dependant on the wavelength absorbed. Solar energy can also be used to assist chemical reactions in plants using photosynthesis


What is the relationship between energy balance and a healthy weight?

Energy balance is based upon dietary/caloric intake and metabolism. Healthy weight can be based on values based on height and weight, such as the body mass index (BMI). Insufficient caloric intake can result in starvation mode, where despite less food consumed the body may gain weight, and slow metabolism. Energy balance requires the body meeting its needed caloric intake, while being exercised for cardiovascular health, and to maintain/grow lean muscle mass.


When your body metabolizes food is it endothermic?

No, in most cases it isn't endothermic. Metabolism, based on the Krebs Cycle, is a biochemical reaction which creates Adenosine Triphosphate, also known as ATP and Energy. Energy is in fact exothermic.


What theory is based on the supposition that energy plus matter plus natural chemical reactions are sufficient to ultimately produce functioning interrelated complex systems?

Glucose is used in what process?

Glucose lets you call the shots when it comes to Energy. It is specifically designed to refuel your body quickly and effectively.It is made using 99.4% pure glucose, which is absorbed by your body in less than 10 seconds. Additionally, it contains no Fat, Cholesterol or caffeine. Glucose Shots are Glucose energy tablets that increase the glucose level in your blood. It needs to be consumed before training to prepare your muscles for action or in midst of a competition. Its formulation is based on years of research and feedback from some of the world's top academic and practicing experts in the field of medicine. Unlike sports drink, Glucose shots are easy to carry and do not require any water . Glucose energy tablets are excellent nutrient supplements during hospitalization, pregnancy and in case of hypoglycemia. It also supplies extra energy to children during Exams and Sports. Moreover, it helps you fight against fatigue and tiredness caused by the blazing summer heat.


Do amphibians have a high metabolism?

Amphibians will sometimes have a high metabolism but this varies based on the species. A higher metabolism requires a constant source of food which may be difficult for these creatures.


How laser light is produced a laser gun?

By laser gun I'll assume you mean laser based directed energy weapons. The most common way is through harnessing the energy of chemical reactions such as in COIL lasers or DF lasers.
