Answer:

Energy stored in glucose molecules is transferred to adenosine triphosphate. During cellular respiration when glucose reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed.

The energy released by glucose molecules is stored in bonds in the phosphate groups of the adenosine triphosphate molecules. After this, energy is released when ATP is converted into ADP and inorganic PO4- groups.

When ADP and phosphate group join together to form ATP energy is stored. A glucose molecule forms 36 to 38 ATP during respiration.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.

sveta [45]

Answer:

Starch is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

Cellulose is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.
