Increased intracellular glucose then leads to increased production of ATP, and an increase in the ATP/ADP ratio (1); the increased ATP/ADP ratio leads to closing of the potassium channel and ...

If these enzymes are not present or functional then the reactions will not occur, so the breakdown of glucose is controlled ... produce a greater quantity of ATP. A pyruvate molecule enters ...

Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize energy-rich carrier molecules, such as ATP, and carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. Therefore, the synthesis ...
