During glycolysis a glucose molecule will break down into two pyruvate molecules.

Glucose is C6H12O6 while pyruvate is C3H4O3.

How much more energy does glucose store than 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.


Compare the amount of energy stored by ATP and glucose.?

One molecule of glucose stores 90 times the amount of chemical energy than one molecule of ATP.


Why does glucose have more potential energy than water?

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.


What are 3 major energy metabolism reactions based on glucose metabolism?

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.


What nutrients yield the highest amount of energy per gram when metabolized?

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.

Lactic acid buildup is caused by what?

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.


Does oxidation of glucose yield more energy than glycogen?

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.


What happens with ATP during glycolsis?

Glucose is changed into pyruvate


Fermentation is not as energy productive as respiration because?

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.

Which has more potential energy glucose or glucose plus P?

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.


Cells use to get energy only when carbohydrate's are not available?

Does glucose contain more energy than carbon dioxide and water?

yes


Does fermentation produce more energy per glucose than cellular respiration?

No.


Does a molecule of starch have more stored energy than a glucose molecule and why?

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.


Do The products CO2 and H20 contain more energy than does the reactant glucose?

they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
