Cellular respiration is the specific cellular process that breaks down food to make energy. Catabolism is the general process that breaks molecules down to release energy.
The process is respiration (cellular respiration). It breaks down the compounds called carbohydrates to release the energy stored there (which almost always originally came from photosynthesis).
A living thing that breaks down dead animals and plants for food is called a decomposer.
a carnivore is an animal that eats only?
The mitochondria makes energy for the cell. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It takes the nutrients, breaks them down, and creates the energy for the cell. This process is known as cellular respiration.
The organelle that breaks down nutrients is called mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in most eukaryotic cells in animals, plants and fungi.
That is the process of decay.
That is the process of decay.
eccentric The body partially breaks down glucose to produce energy (ATP) and the by-product lactic acid
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
The process that breaks down granite into sediments is weathering.
Cellular respiration is the process in which oxygen breaks down glucose to produce energy in the cells of living organisms.
Monosaccharides are produced through the reduction of di-/polysaccharides in the case of animals. Plants on the other hand, produce monosaccharides (glucose) through photosynthesis. They take the monomers and bond them together into starch for storage. The starch is the energy that animals and humans acquire during consumption. We then follow through with the digestion process which breaks the glycosidic linkages between monomers in order to utilize the glucose.
Most producers use a process known as photosynthesis to produce food. Photosynthesis converts sunlight, water, and CO2 into something known as glucose, which is what plants use to grow. Other producers (like fungi) uses the waste in the environment through the process known as biodegredation. Biodegredation breaks down wastes (rotten trees, dead animals, etc...) and converts it into food.
