Cells use the energy available in food to make a final energy rich compound called
ATP
Each gram of glucose contains approximately how much energy
4 Calories
The process that releases energy from food into the presence of oxygen
Cellular respiration
The first step in releasing energy of glucose into the cell is Known as
Glycolysis
What is a calorie briefly explain how cells use high calorie molecule such as a glucose
Calorie is amount of energy needed to raise temperature of 1 g of water 1°C 1 g of sugar glucose releases 3811 cal
Write a chemical equation for cellular respiration label the molecule involved
602+c6H12o6-6co2+6H20
What percentage of energy contained in a molecule of glucose is captured in the bonds of ATP at the end of Glycolysis
10%
What does it mean if a process is anaerobic? Which part of cellular respiration is anaerobic
Without air . Glycolysis
In eukaryotes The curb cycle takes place Within the
Mitochondria
The electron transport chain uses high energy electrons from the curb cycle to
Move H ions across the inner Mitochondrial membrane
