NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin helps our cells convert glucose into energy, and it helps our bodies store extra glucose for use later. For example, if you eat a large meal and your body doesn’t need that much glucose right away, insulin will help your body store it to convert to energy later.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sugars, fats, and amino acids from proteins that we eat are converted into energy through the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -While we know that plants make their own glucose through the process of photosynthesis, plants still need mitochondria to convert glucose into usable energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucose is converted into ATP by cellular respiration. One molecule of glucose produces 38 ATP molecules by aerobic respiration in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. The steps involved in cellular respiration are glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
