263/686 or 39%, of available energy is usually transfered from glucose to ATP. The rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

What term refers to the production of energy by a cell without using oxygen?

The process of converting glucose (C6H1206) to energy in the form of ATP is known as anaerobic respiration in humans. The pathway involves glucose as a reactant yielding 2 lactic acids and 2 ATPs.


How many molecules of ATP are gained by substrate-level phosphorylation from the complete breakdown of a single molecule of glucose in the presence of oxygen?

In substrate level phosphorylation, the ADP is phosphorylated directly by the transfer of phosphate group from substrate. If we consider glucose, then we get four substrate level phosphorylated ATPs, net gain of two in glycolysis and other two are formed when the two pyruvate molecules formed after glycolysis enter the TCA cycle.


What energy is in your body?

aerobic and anaerobic energy which is synthesized through food.Energy of food which is chemical energy, is stored in the body in the form of high energy bonds of chemical compounds (ATPs, Adenosin triphosphate) .When needed, the a high energy bond of an ATP breaks up with the help of enzymes, releasing a great amount of free energy which is used to perform various worksATP = ADP + energy + one phosphate group


What happens to most of the energy from the breakdown of food?

Most of the energy from the breakdown of food is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration, a process that cells use to produce energy. This ATP is then used by cells for various functions like muscle contraction, enzyme reactions, and cell division. Some energy is also lost as heat.


Does fermentation release more energy than respiration?

No, fermentation typically releases less energy than respiration. Fermentation is an anaerobic process that generates energy without the use of oxygen, resulting in the production of lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts. In contrast, respiration is an aerobic process that occurs in the presence of oxygen and produces more ATP, making it a more efficient energy-generating process.

How much energy is needed to start the process of glycolysis?

Two molecules of ATP are needed to start the process of glycolysis. These ATP molecules are used to prime the glucose molecule for further breakdown and energy production.


During glycolysis what is the overall gain of the ATP per glucose molecule?

What stores more potential energy one molecule of glucose or two molecules of pyruvic acid explain?

One molecule of glucose stores more potential energy than two molecules of pyruvic acid because glucose has more carbon-hydrogen bonds, which can be broken down to release energy through cellular respiration. Pyruvic acid is an intermediate product of glucose metabolism and has already undergone some breakdown, resulting in a lower energy content.


What are glucose and oxygen converted into in aerobic respiration?

It really depends on if its aerobic(with oxygen) or anaerobic(without oxygen) respiration. In aerobic respiration carbon dioxide, water and energy are made In anaerobic respiration lactic acid and energy are made.

What do mitochondria convert?

They break down glucose.Released energy is stored in ATPs.


Does cellular respiration release chemical energy?

yes,released energy is stored between phosphate bonds of ATPs.


What substance is needed to begin glycolysis?

Glycolysis is the process that turns glucose into pyruvate. The energy released from this is then used to make the more readily usable ATP.
