Question

Describe the transfer of energy from the glucose in food, to ATP, to a cell’s movement and other functions

Answer 1

This is the last question on my test lol @jagr2713 @Somy

Answer 2

Energy that is stored in the glucose of food is harnessed to convert ADP to its less stable, more energetic form ATP in the process of metabolism. The ATP can then be converted back to ADP in various situations that result from the biochemistry of the molecule's location. This conversion of ATP back to ADP releases energy, which is harnessed in countless cellular processes, such as the activation of protein pumps or the contraction of muscle fibers

Answer 3

do you know about glycolysis & citric acid cycle/ kreb cycle
?

Answer 4

Not much @Somy

Answer 5

what do you already know?
try to write everything you already know so that we can help add stuff or correct if you are wrong

Answer 6

Its not even enough to explain honestly and this section doesn't even mention it at all.. @Somy

Answer 7

yeah but for u to completely get it
you need to know how ATP is generated from glucose
but since i dont know what level of answer you require hmmm you might or might not need to know it

Answer 8

Thats the only part I know lol

Answer 9

lets see
glucose is converted to pyruvate
pyruvate enters kreb cycle
from there electrons are passed on to Electron transport chain which makes ATP using ADP and inorganic phosphate
thats in short
is there anything you are hearing first time?

Answer 10

"from there electrons are passed on to Electron transport chain which makes ATP"

Thats about the only thing that I've never actually heard lmao @Somy

Answer 11

mmmm then just leave that part
and say that kreb cycle generates ATP

Answer 12

Thanks I really appreciate the help @Somy

Answer 13

that was a way from glucose to ATP
then just say that its used in cellular metabolism/ activity and stuff
you are welcome :)
