Question

1. living things are able to get energy out of glucose during cell respiration. glucose is...

a. the suns energy.
b. a sugar molecule.
c. a water molecule.
d. carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) with the chemical formula \(C_6H_{12}O_6\). It is not the sun's energy (a is wrong as the sun's energy is converted through processes like photosynthesis to be stored in glucose). A water molecule is \(H_2O\) (c is wrong). Carbon dioxide is \(CO_2\) (d is wrong).

Answer:

B. a sugar molecule.
