The energy released when sugar molecules are broken down is transferred to bonds in which molecule

1 answer:

8 0

Sugar molecules (i.e. glucose) are broken down into simpler molecules such as pyruvate. Pyruvate, in the presence of oxygen will be converted to Acetyl-CoA and it will enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle wherein it will produce series of reducing compounds such as NADH and FADH. These reducing compounds are then processed in the electron transport chain and oxidized, and the energy released in the oxidation of NADH and FADH is transferred to the high energy phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

B) cortisol ensures that the brain has glucose when it’s necessary. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that helps control blood sugar levels, metabolism, and inflammation. Glucose, also known as sugar, is an energy source used in cells in the body. The brain is highly demanding of energy since it is so rich in nerve cells and neurons, so glucose is essential to the brain. Too much can harm the brain though, so it is important for the cortisol to control the sugar levels.
