Photo google source As we have just seen, cells require a constant supply of energy to generate and maintain the biological order that keeps them alive. This energy is derived from the chemical bond energy in food molecules, which thereby serve as fuel for cells. Sugars are particularly important fuel molecules, and they are oxidized in small steps to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (Figure 2-69). In this section we trace the major steps in the breakdown, or catabolism, of sugars and show how they produce ATP, NADH, and other activated carrier molecules in animal cells. We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells. A very similar pathway also operates in plants, fungi, and many bacteria. Other molecules, such as fatty acids and proteins, can also serve as energy sources when they are funneled through appropriate enzymatic pathways. Food Molecules Are Broken Down in Three Stages to Produce ATP The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides tha

Photo google source There are so many ingredients that we can find in cherries which the substances contain inside are very important to the human body. From the various ingredients that stored in the fruit is very reasonable, so the cherries have considerable benefits. As we need to know the content in 100 grams of cherries are: Water = 77.8 grams Carbohydrate = 17.9 grams Protein = 0.384 grams Ash = 1.14 grams Fat = 1.56 grams Fiber = 4.6 grams Niacin = 0.554 grams Ribofalin = 0.037 grams Carotene = 0.019 grams Tianin = 0.065 grams C = 80.5 milligrams Phosphorus = 84 milligrams Iron = 1.18 milligrams Benefits of Cherry Leaves From some content that contain in cherry leaves, the cherry leaves have the following benefits of cherry leaves for health such as 1. As Sugar Level Reducer For diabetic people, water cherry leaves stew can lower sugar levels in the body. Making cherry leaves stew as a diabetic drug has been done since a long time ago. Cherry leaves contain saponins and flavo
