Biology
1 answer:
Triss [41]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - glucose is broken down into cellular energy (ATP).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the double membrane cell organelle presents in all eukaryotic cells that produce the energy by the process of cellular respiration from the food to the cell to perform its day to day functions.

The cellular respiration is the process that involves the braking of the sugars into simple molecules and these catabolic reaction produce energy with CO2 and water as waste. The energy is stored in the form of ATP which is generated in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ATP is used by the cell to perform its function.

Thus, the prower house of the cell is mitochondria.

The amount of energy stored in a molecule of ATP compared to the amount stored in a molecule of glucose is?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The amount of energy stored in a molecule of ATP compared to the amount stored in a molecule of glucose is <u>less</u>.

Explanation:

Both ATP and glucose are energy containing molecules. However, a molecule of glucose has about 90 times more energy than a molecule of ATP.

But, ATP is used by most cells as the quickest source of energy. This is because ATP can easily be broken down to generate energy and it transfers energy very effectively.

A molecule of ATP is made up of adenine and three phosphate groups. The bond between the second and third phosphate is broken down to generate energy.
