RESPONSE: When a living being consumes food, it primarily decomposes into significant quantities of water along with large organic compounds. These compounds include Fat, Proteins, Glucose, Starch, and Cellulose. However, these larger organic structures cannot be directly utilized by cells, so the body further reduces them to smaller monomers.
In the muscles of cows, protein structures are formed by utilizing 4 amino acid monomers. Fatty structures come together using 3 fatty acid monomers alongside 1 glycerol molecule.
Cows combine glucose molecules with oxygen to generate chemical energy during cellular respiration. Cows are capable of producing both fat and glucose molecules since fatty acids and glycerol are composed of the same elements: C, H, and O.
