What type of carbon-based molecule is the first to be broken down by the body's cells to provide a source of energy?

Biology

Reika [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Glucose

Explanation:

The carbon based molecule which is broken by the cells of the body is glucose it is a carbohydrate that is obtained from food we consume it is stored in the form of glycogen. When the energy requirement of the body increases then glucose monomers are released from the glycogen chain so that glucose monomers can participate in the energy generation process in the mitochondria of the cell. The chemical energy so produced is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

In the electron transport system
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.
