Energy is trapped in the chemical bonds of nutrient molecules. How is it then made usable for cellular functions and biosynthetic processes?

This structure eventually forms the neural plate, becoming the basis for the spinal cord and nervous system. The second wave ...

Plants are also able to breakdown the larger, more complex molecules they have made to make glucose. This diagram shows the metabolism of glucose in plants - how glucose can be made from starch ...

The main component of lignocellulose is cellulose, a beta(1–4)-linked chain of glucose molecules. Hydrogen bonds between different layers of the polysaccharides contribute to the resistance of ...
