eugene is running and needs more energy. he drinks a sports drink with sugar, but that sugar needs to be converted to another substance containing chemical energy for his leg muscles to be able to use it. which process will convert the sugar to energy that his cells can use? cellular respiration photosynthesis breathing energy storage
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose (sugar) into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy - carrying molecule that cells can use. Photosynthesis is a process in plants to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight. Breathing is the physical act of taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, not the conversion of sugar to energy. Energy storage is a general concept and not the specific process of converting sugar to usable energy.
