A cell goes through cellular respiration and produces ATP which it then uses to move a molecule across the cell membrane. How does the energy in the original glucose molecule change during this process?

The stored energy in the glucose is used to produce ATP that can be converted to mechanical energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
The energy in the glucose is stored as kinetic energy in the ATP and released as potential energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
The energy in the glucose is stored as mechanical energy in the ATP and released as potential energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
The kinetic energy in the glucose is stored as potential energy in the ATP and released as kinetic energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane

The correct answer is : The kinetic energy in the glucose is stored as potential energy in the ATP and released as kinetic energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced by converting the biochemical energy from nutrients during cellular respiration in the cells of organisms. The energy gained from ATP can be widely used for different cellular activities. Several metabolic reactions take place to change the energy from glucose to ATP.

During the movement of molecule across the cell membrane, the kinetic energy in the glucose is stored as potential energy in the ATP and released as kinetic energy.
