Chemical energy is present in cellulose. This energy is stored in the bonds between the molecules that make up cellulose and can be released through processes like combustion or digestion.

What is a modified form of cellulose found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans?

There is no such tihng as a modified form of cellulose, but the word you are looking for is probably chitin, another organic molecule which is very similar to cellulose. Chitin is the second most abundant organic molecule on earth, second only to cellulose.

Is cellulose a carbohydrate?

Yes, cellulose is a carbohydrate. It is a complex polysaccharide made up of glucose units linked together to form a structural component of plant cell walls.


Name 3 polysaccharides?

Starch: a polysaccharide found in plants that serves as a storage form of energy. Cellulose: a polysaccharide also found in plants, forming their cell walls and providing structural support. Glycogen: a polysaccharide stored in animal cells as a reserve energy source.


What type of energy is present in muscles?

Muscles store and use chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to carry out their functions.


When glucose monomers are joined by glycosidec linkage to form a cellulose polymer the change in free energy total energy and entropy are what?

The change in free energy would be negative due to the formation of a more stable cellulose polymer. The total energy would remain the same as energy is conserved in a chemical reaction. The entropy would decrease as the formation of a more ordered polymer reduces the randomness of the system.

When a goat eats grass what form of energy passes directly from the grass to the goat?

The energy transfered is in the form of chemical energy. The biomass of the grass is transferred to the goat in the form of chemical bonds. The enzymes within the goat's stomach break down the grass cellulose into simple usuable sugars. On average, only about 10% of the grass consumed is actually converted to the useable chemical energy. The rest is turned to biological waste.


Is plants or meats harder to digest?

Humans' storage form of energy is a six carbon sugar called glucose. Our cells can easily break glucose down into ATP, the main energy that powers our cells. Plants' storage form of energy is starch, which we can also break down, however you eat the whole plant, not just its starch, and plants also contain cellulose, a structual carbohydrate that your body cannot breakdown into ATP. While starch can be converted to glucose, it requires more energy to do so, and cellulose cannot be converted at all. So in short, your body breaks down meat more easily because it's energy is already stored in a form which your body can process most easily.


Polymers of carbohydrates?

Polymers of carbohydrates are called polysaccharides. They are formed by joining monosaccharide units through glycosidic bonds. Examples include starch, cellulose, and glycogen which serve as energy storage or structural components in living organisms.
