During glycolysis a glucose molecule will break down into two pyruvate molecules.
Glucose is C6H12O6 while pyruvate is C3H4O3.
Glucose stores about 15 times more energy than ATP. Glucose is a larger molecule that can be broken down through cellular respiration to produce more ATP molecules as an energy source for the cell.
One molecule of glucose stores 90 times the amount of chemical energy than one molecule of ATP.
Glucose has more potential energy than water because it is a complex molecule with multiple chemical bonds that can be broken to release energy. Water, on the other hand, is a simple molecule with stable bonds that do not contain much potential energy. The energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose can be released through processes like cellular respiration to fuel biological reactions.
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.
starch is the nutrient that provides greatest amount of energy. during the process of digestion starch is converted into maltose which is then converted into glucose. breaking down of 1 glucose molecule provides 2780kilo joules of energy.
As you perform strenuous exercise, your breathing increases in an attempt to send more oxygen to your working muscles. Although the body prefers to generate most of its energy by using oxygen in an aerobic method, strenuous activities require energy production faster than our bodies can adequately deliver oxygen to. Because of this, muscles generate energy anaerobically, with energy coming from glucose through a process called glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into a substance called pyruvate. When the body has enough oxygen, pyruvate is sent to an aerobic pathway to be broken down for more energy. When energy is limited, the body converts pyruvate into a substance called lactate, which allows glucose to breakdown to continue energy production.
No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
Glucose is changed into pyruvate
fermentation does not fully break down glucose molecules to produce as much ATP (energy) as respiration. In fermentation, glucose is partially broken down without the use of oxygen, resulting in lower energy yield. Respiration, on the other hand, fully oxidizes glucose in the presence of oxygen, generating a much larger amount of ATP.
Glucose stores about 15 times more energy than ATP. Glucose is a larger molecule that can be broken down through cellular respiration to produce more ATP molecules as an energy source for the cell.
One molecule of glucose stores 90 times the amount of chemical energy than one molecule of ATP.
Glucose plus P (phosphate) has more potential energy than glucose alone. This is because the addition of a phosphate group increases the potential energy of the molecule due to the additional chemical bonds and electrostatic interactions present in the phosphorylated form.
lIPIDS
yes
No.
yes - starch is a larger molecule (with more bonds holding atoms together, so it has more energy) because it is a polymer of glucose. Glucose is one ring of carbons and starch is a chain of these.
they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
