The Process of Cellular Respiration and ATP??

Question

So, a glucose molecule went through the process of cellular respiration and made ATP. Would that glucose molecule then be considered ATP? And if it is where can it go from there, can it become carbon dioxide? Or maybe something else?

Answer 1

The glucose molecule was actually broken down into water and CO2. The reaction for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2+ energy
The ATP came from the addition of a phosphate molecule to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). Some of this is made as phosphate added to intermediate molecules made from glucose by enzymes is then removed and added to ADP and GDP (guanine diphosphate which is very similar to ADP). However, most is made in the electron transport system as electron carriers NADH, NADPH and FADH2 produced as byproducts in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle drop off electrons to be passed along a chain or electron carriers in a serious of reduction and oxidation reactions. The energy from these reactions is responsible for making most of the ATP we get from cellular respiration.

Answer 2

You are very confused!!!
First of all
1. The process of cellular respiration produce the carbon dioxide as a waste. For example when you eat an apple your body uses the nutrients, and the rest is turn into sh**t (hahaha). Glucolysis is made to create an energy molecule and the sh**t is the carbon dioxide.

2. The ATP means that tree phosphates are bond with Adenine, ATP means Triphosphate Adenine. Before glucolysis adenine was bond with two phosphates, is called (ADP) this is independent to glucolysis . Glucolysis is a process that gives out an electron to make a bond between ADP and a phosphate to turn ADP--->ATP.

A glucose molecule make at least 36 molecules of ATP. Two more can be made if the organism uses GDP and turns it into GTP wich instead of adenine uses guanine.

In summary:
Glucose goes through glucolysis---->gives out an electron-->ADP (Adenine with two phosphates) transforms to ATP(Adenine with tree phosfates).

P.S This happens mostly in a cell organelle called mitocondria.

Answer 3

When your cells burn sugar fuel
from your meal (such a deal!),
there are three parts to the job
and you get some ATP.


First you do glycolysis.
Split that sugar right in half,
and you make two ATPs:
store some energy.


Second comes the Kreb’s cycle,
break it down to CO2
in your mitochondria,
and you make more ATP.


Third, your mitochondria
transport those electrons.
Grab their energy to make
lots and lots of ATP.


Then you dump those electrons
and some extra hydrogen.
Bond them onto oxygen
and you get some water.


Forty total ATPs:
glycolysis uses two,
and eukaryotes use two more
so the total’s thirty-six.




Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.

The process occurs in two phases:
glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water
In eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. (Link to a discussion of glycolysis). The remaining processes take place in mitochondria.

ATP is a nucleotide that performs many essential roles in the cell.
It is the major energy currency of the cell, providing the energy for most of the energy-consuming activities of the cell.
It is one of the monomers used in the synthesis of RNA and, after conversion to deoxyATP (dATP), DNA.
It regulates many biochemical pathways.
