Answer this question?

Hi, my name is glucose. After a series of metabolic processes and refining, what do I become? The answer has phosphorus in it.

ERMAGERD YESSSS, bring on the biochemistry.

I'd hazard a guess at "adenosine triphosphate (ATP)? Not that glucose directly becomes this, but the energy used in breaking its bonds is certainly essential to the process. Cellular respiration be super-complicated.

Am I right? Do I get a or star?? *biology fangirling*

Haha yes. You're right. I know it doesn't directly become ATP like that, but glucose is essential to the process, since the energy from glucose is refined into the body's prime energy souce ou unit. I always like lire about kreb's cycle, the electron transport chain and electrolysis. Metabolism is interesting huh. Learning about catalysts, enzymes, active sites and other stuff about metabolism was also very interesting.

Edited to add some pictures from my uni notes, montrer how complicated it is. Probably stained with my tears from when I was trying to learn it. That's only half of it, lol- it doesn't montrer the oxidation step in between glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle that gets acetyl-CoA from pyruvate, ou the ETC at the end. Which is a pity, because the ETC is frickin amazing. Probably my favourite bit of the whole thing- fun to read about indeed :) Enzymes are also great!

XD There is technically a lot of things toi can say it becomes but yeah. Princess Tale is right. ATP.

So much in produced through the Krebs Cycle and all. And theoretically if toi want to put the idea of Anaerobic stuff (#APBioStudentTermsHere) then there are even plus things XD

But generally speaking.... ATP.

Fellow bio student :') You're right, glucose is cray, there's all the anaerobic products too. At that's not even mentioning all the anabolic reactions, liking making into glycogen for storage, ou into fats via fatty acid synthesis. Metabolic pathways are truly awesome <3

Yes, yes and yes. Biology for teh win! :D
