- Oh no! The bamboo I am a part of is being eaten by a panda! The panda is digesting the starch, meaning it is breaking apart the molecule's bonds, turning it back into glucose.
- This bamboo is so good I could cry...
- After the glucose that I am a part of is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is turned into glycogen through the process of glycolysis and stored in the liver for later use.
- BUT THEN.....
- Glycogen
- Oh no! Before I am used by the panda for cellular respiration, the panda is poached by a hunter.
- The poachers are caught, but the panda is left on the forest ground. What will happen next?
- The decomposers perform cellular respiration, using the glycogen that I am a part of and oxygen and turning it into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
- Eventually, as the panda lays dead on the forest floor, decomposers such as fungi and worms arrive.
- After the bonds of the reactant molecules are broken, I am combined with another hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. I am now a part of water again! The other atoms combine to form water, carbon dioxide, and energy in the form of ATP is released.
- Cellular Respiration:Input: oxygen, glucose(glycogen)Output: ATP, carbon dioxide, water
