∙ 13y agoThe answer you're looking for is either catabolism, cellular respiration, or glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration and it is the exact step when glucose is broken down. The equation (from Wikipedia) for glycolysis:
glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O
Following glycolysis is usually some form of anaerobic(fermentation) or aerobic respiration(Krebs Cycle + electron transport chain).
Catabolism is just a general term for the breakdown of molecules.

∙ 13y agoanaerobic respiration (if it still involves an electron transport chain)
or fermentation (if it uses neither oxygen (O2) nor an electron transport chain)
if it does use an electron transport chain, it is with another molecule other than Oxygen, because it is still anaerobic (ex: some marine bacteria organisms utilize the electronegative Sulfur ion instead of oxygen which is scarce)

Where is energy released from living cells following the complete breakdown of glucose?
respiration
Another function of the Kreb's cycle other than to continue the breakdown of glucose is to?
Another function of the Kreb's cycle other than to continue the breakdown of glucose is to release energy. It gives the cell more energy to complete other processes.
What is the intital breakdown of glucose that produces a net result of two ATP called?
Phosphorylation
What is the main result of aerobic respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
What is the purpose of the breakdown of glucose in a cell?
For energy, they need energy to keep the organism they're part of going. Cells use oxygen (if possible) to break down the glucose into carbon dioxide and water. This is called aerobic respiration. If not oxygen is available (if your using a lot like during exercise) then the cells will break down the glucose anaerobically to make lactic acid which can hard your cells. This all happens in the mitochondria of your cells.
Process of releasing energy through the breakdown of glucose?
The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.
What is the amount of energy produced in partial breakdown of glucose?
45
What happens to most of energy from breakdown of food?
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.
Where is energy released from living cells following the complete breakdown of glucose?
respiration
Is the breakdown of glucose endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic. Glucose is one of the major source of energy of the body and can only act as an energy source because its breakdown into CO2 is an exothermic reaction.
What hormone is used to convert glucose into energy?
Cortisol stimulates the breakdown of protein into glucose, raising blood sugar, thereby providing more energy to deal with stress.
Which cell organelle extracts energy from breakdown products of carbohydrates such glucose?
The mitochondrion
What happens to most of the from the breakdown of food?
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.
What is the different developmental stage in the span of the individual?
An organic acid formed during energy production from the breakdown of glucose when there is not enough oxygen available for the complete breakdown of glucose hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!
What are the hormones responsible for regulating glucose levels?
glucagon and insulin are responsible for regulating glucose levels in normal circumstances glucagon promotes glycogen breakdown into glucose for energy insulin promotes glucose storage as glycogen however in times of danger adrenaline also affects glucose levels as it promotes significantly glycogen breakdown into glucose for extra energy
What two processes in glucose breakdown are anaerobic?
During glucose breakdown, glycolysis and fermentation occur anaerobically. Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into energy and pyruvate. Fermentation uses to the pyruvate to form either ethanol or lactate.
Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
