What substance is the USABLE source of the energy that an animal cell uses for the synthesis of materials?

1 answer:

3 0

ATP because its essentially stored energy. All the cell has to do to release the energy is break off a phosphate. ATP is like money in the bank. It's there when cells need energy. Glucose is the preferred molecule to go through the krebs cycle to be made into ATP, but it has to be converted to ATP before its energy can be used. Starch is a macromolecule and has to be broken down into monosaccharides and then converted into ATP, so it's not he most direct source of energy. DNA is the code for telling the cells what proteins to make. It's not a source of energy. Sorry its long but hope it helps!!

What is the difference between cellular respiration and the combustion of fossil fuels?

madreJ [45]

Carbon is released into the atmosphere only during the burning of fossil fuels

Explanation:

During the process of fuel burning, carbon is released in the atmosphere. The human invented power plants, factories, cars and other vehicles releases carbon in the form of carbon di-oxide in atmosphere.

However, the cellular respiration is similar to that of fuel burning as it is too a combustion process. But the carbon produced in this process fuels the inner cellular activities rather than releasing it in the atmosphere.
