chemical energy that is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules is converted to energy stored in ATP molecules
chemical energy that is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules is converted to energy stored in ATP molecules

energy stored in the bonds of ATP molecules is released by breaking off the bond with the last phosphate group during cellular respiration
energy stored in the bonds of ATP molecules is released by breaking off the bond with the last phosphate group during cellular respiration

Thermal energy from making smores is converted into chemical energy in the bonds of glucose molecules

Answer 1

Answer:

chemical energy that is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules is converted to energy stored in ATP molecules

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process of extracting energy from glucose into Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). That is glucose is converted into ATP.

The process of cellular respiration involves oxygen from the air we breathe mixing with glucose, thereby breaking the glucose to give carbon dioxide and water as the end product. During this process, ATP is released.

One molecule of glucose can be converted to get about 38 molecules of ATP.
