What are the steps of how energy is transformed in plant cells?
Adi S.
Describe the steps that carbohydrates, fats, and protein go through to generate ATP (energy) in the metabolic cycle within the cell. Digestion prepares food for absorption; metabolism is the use of nutrients by cells. Why can't glucose be produced from fatty acids? Please refer to the text for the explanation of why fats don't provide glucose in the metabolic cycle.
