Which of the following structures breaks down sugars to provide energy for cell activities?
Mitochondrion Mitochondrion
Provides quick energy
glucose
glucose (C6H12O6)
Mitochondria provides the ATP for cell.It oxidize glucose and store energy in ATP.
cellular respiration is the awnser
Process known as cellular respiration.
Process known as cellular respiration.
cell respiration
The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.
Mitochondria in the cell use oxygen when breaking down glucose.
The main reason that carbohydrates are important to cell processes is that glucose, a carbohydrate, provides most of the energy a cell requires. Glucose is the main reactant for cellular respiration.
depends what sort of microbe you are talking about, glucose is useful to human cells because it provides the highest amount of energy, when its alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds are broken. basically because out of all the things the human body can break down, glucose provides the most energy
