describe each class of nutriets the body uses and how a glucose molecule can be metabolized to make ATP?

6 classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, water. See website http://www.runningplanet.com/articles/article_detail.asp?article_id=440\n\nGlucose metabolism is called glycolysis- see this website: http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/glylysis/glylysis.html

ATP is a complex nanomachine that serves as the primary energy currency of the cell (Trefil, 1992, p.93). A nanomachine is a complex precision microscopic-sized machine that fits the standard definition of a machine. ATP is the “most widely distributed high-energy compound within the human body” (Ritter, 1996, p. 301). This ubiquitous molecule is “used to build complex molecules, contract muscles, generate electricity in nerves, and light fireflies. All fuel sources of Nature, all foodstuffs of living things, produce ATP, which in turn powers virtually every activity of the cell and organism.

Glucose is important to the body because it is broken down into just water and carbon dioxide in the process of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria of your cells-this requires oxygen..  This is where your body gets 95% of it's evergy-for example, runners use oxydative phosphorylation (aerobic energy) and can go steadily for 26 miles (or more)-while weightlifters when lifting use primarily anaerobic energy (without oxygen)-that only can give energy for a minute or so.  WIthout aerobic metabolism you would die in a few minutes.  So, glucose plus oxygen is where you get energy, and it happens in the mitochondria of cells.  Cyanide interfers with this reaction in the mitochondria, so that oxygen cannot be used to make energy (so cyanide primarily works against oxygen, but since it's glucose + oxygen that is burned to make the energy, is might as well work against glucose as well).  Burning glucose for energy using oxygen is exactly the same as burning fuel in a fire.  If you start a fire, but keep it from getting oxygen, it'll go out- cyanide starves your body of the oxygen, so *your* fire goes out.

Prokaryotes make 38 ATP from complete oxidative breakdown of one Glucose molecule. Eukaryotes (cells with nuclei) make 36 because they hae to spend one ATP to transport both of the NADPH molecules that are created in the cytoplasm during glycolysis into the mitochondria to be used in the Electron Transport Chain.

The Krebs Cycle which involves also protein metabolism. From the protein the Body extracts L-Glutamine which is technically how the body creates Glucose when one's diet is proper. Glucose is also needed for Neurotransmission which also requires B-Vitamins especially Niacin which becomes NADH which is essential for proper cellular energy production which in turn also requires the Mevalonate Highway which is the Amino Acid Grouping which creates CoEnzyme Q-10. The brain needs a little more than Glucose it also needs all the things I mentioned plus Essential Fatty Acids  like DHA  and Phosphatidylserine which all work together to optimize Brain function. Incidentally NADH stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hydrate one example of Coenzyme B-Vitamins one of about 13 different ones each one important for Optimum Brain Function.

Cell Respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

Glyconutrients in the forms of starch and glycogen. They provide the most fundamental energy for our body when the chemical bonds are cracked and transformed into ATP. Moreover, they appear in many cell structures.

Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP as it is commonly known, is the cells currency for providing energy. ATP is made in the mitochondria via respiration (more precisely oxidative phosphorylation). This process involves the addition of a phosphate group to a pre-existing adenosine diphosphate group. The ATP is then transported out of the mitochondria and transported around the cell to where reactions occur that require energy input.At these sites ATP is hydrolysed (water added) to form ADP (ATP +  H20 = ADP + P + Energy). The energy is provided in the form of heat energy which is usually used in catabolic reactions to break bonds.

Your body breaks down all sugars, from oligo(a lot)-saccharides(sugars) , to poly(many)saccharides(sugars), to di(two)saccharides(sugars), to mono(one)saccharides(sugars)- which it can use as fuel.

1. glycolysis\n2. lactic acid\n3. I'm not sure what the question is asking. 4 ATP molecules are produced by glycolysis but 2 are used up so there is only a net of 2 ATP.\n4.Fermentation\n5. NADH and FADH2 (2 is subscript)

From respiration: Here, glucose molecules in the cell are broken down; the molecules have strong bond between them and so when they are broken, energy is provided(by mitochondria) and when new molecules are formed, energy is released, which the cell uses for various processes.\n\nFrom protein synthesis: It occurs on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, and aminoacids are combined to form proteins and this releases energy.\n\nFrom ATP(adenosine tri-phosphate): The ATP molecule is a packet of energy which stores the energy released during any process going on in the cell and then releases the energy as and when required by the cell.

Glycolysis.\n\nOne molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid generating energy in the form of ATP and NADH. This is one of the most common metablic pathways known, being found in the majority of living organisms.

Energy (ATP, from the food we eat) in our body is used to create chemical energy so our body can move and proceed with its daily life.\n________\n\nAll I can think of :(  Hope this helps! :) :)

Adenosine Triphosphate, of course... or ATP for short.  All cells use ATP to generate energy, which the cells accomplish by breaking off one phosphate ion, which triggers a release of energy and turns the ATP molecule into an ADP molecule.
