Question

(20 POINTS!!) Respiration is a process where many chemical bonds inside the body break and release energy. This energy is used to perform various activities such as moving muscles. Explain the energy transformation in this process.

A. Chemical energy from broken bonds is transformed into mechanical energy for muscles.
B. Mechanical energy from broken bonds is transformed into chemical energy for muscles.
C. Mechanical energy from broken bonds is transformed into electrical energy for muscles.
D. Heat energy from broken bonds is transformed into electrical energy for muscles.

Answer 1

Answer:Cellular respiration is the process of transforming chemical energy into forms usable by the cell or organism. Organisms ingest organic molecules like the carbohydrate glucose to obtain the energy needed for cellular functions. The energy in glucose can be extracted in a series of chemical reactions known as cellular respiration. Most energy is produced during cellular respiration in the mitochondria, a process that involves breakdown of simple sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP, which is the usable form by the cell.
