Is glucose used as an energy source?
Not directly. Glucose is used in cellular respiration to turn ADP into ATP, but it is ATP that is used for energy.
What energy is release when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
ATP
What happens when chemical reactions break down glucose molecules into simpler substances and trap their stored energy in ATP?
It isn't. ATP is a considerably larger molecule than glucose. Although glucose is not literally broken down into ATP, the energy from the glucose molecule is transferred to ATP molecules. The energy in each ATP moelcule is much less than in a glucose molecule, and is a more convenient amount for the cell to use. Just think how a small denomination bill (£ or $) can be more convenient than a large one for small transactions.
What provides the initial energy to break down glucose during glycolysis?
ATP provides energy to break down glucose during glycolysis.
What happens to the chemical energy that an organism obtain from food?
The chemical energy that an organism obtains from food is converted to ATP.
How much of the available energy stored in glucose is converted to ATP?
About 67& of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP. The rest is lost as heat.
Is all of the energy released by the oxidation of glucose converted and stored in the form of ATP?
no
Where does glucose get converted into usable energy in the form of ATP?
Once the glucose has entered the cell, it begins the process of conversion. Glucose is converted producing both heat and ATP as by-products
How many molecules of ADP can be converted to ATP by the energy released from one molecule of glucose?
32 - 34 molecules of ATP
ATP and glucose different?
Yes. Glucose is a sugar, and it is a 6 carbon ring (C6H12O6). ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is composed of adenosine and 3 phosphates (PO4). ATP is a direct source of energy for the body. When you ingest glucose, it is converted to ATP before it is used.
What is the brains source of energy?
Glucose is the main source of energy of the brain. It is converted to ATP inside the brain. However, the brain cells (neurons) themselves use some glucose. The other glucose is first metabolized and converted to "Lactate" by cells inside the brain called "Astrocytes". The lactate produced will then enter the neurons and then is converted to ATP.

Engery released from the cellular respiration of glucose?
During cellular respiration, the energy in glucose is converted, into 40 (38 net) ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) molecules, these are then used to carry out life's functions, such as homeostasis.
Is ATP Suger?
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. It is the raw form of energy that our cells can use. ATP, which is not a suger, is converted through respiration from glucose, which is a sugar.
What is the use of charbohydrates for body?
Energy. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which will be converted to ATP, NADH and FADH2 by enzymes.
The energy in food molecules such as glucose is converted into what?
Its been degraded to two molecules of pyruvate.
Would the formation of ATP molecules from glucose oxidation be an example of energy transformation or conversion?
Yes. It is a good example of energy transformation or conversion. In this energy stored in glucose molecule is released in small pockets. And stored in 38 ATP molecules. Here ADP molecule get converted into ATP molecule. When energy is required, ATP molecule is reconverted into ADP molecule.
