Question

The equation shows cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. C6H1206 + 602 ? 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP What happens to the energy in the bonds in glucose? A. The energy is transferred to oxygen. B. The energy is transferred to carbon dioxide. C. The energy is transferred to water. D. The energy is transferred to ATP.

Answer 1

D. The energy is transferred to ATP.

Answer 2

D. The energy is transferred to ATP. ATP is chemical energy the cell can use. Energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups of the ATP molecule. When ATP is broken down into ADP and inorganic phosphate, energy is released. When ADP and inorganic phosphate join together to form ATP, energy is stored.
