Question

the chemical equation below summarizes cellular respiration.
6o₂ + c₆h₁₂o₆ → 6co₂ + 6h₂o + energy
the energy that is released by cellular respiration is in the form of
○ dark energy.
○ solar energy.
○ nuclear energy.
○ chemical energy.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration breaks down glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) in the presence of oxygen (\(O_2\)). The process releases energy that is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a chemical compound. Dark energy is a concept in cosmology, solar energy comes from the sun (not relevant to cellular respiration's energy release form here), and nuclear energy involves atomic nuclei (not the case in cellular respiration). So, the energy released by cellular respiration is chemical energy.

Answer:

chemical energy.
