Question

1. what happens to the energy stored in glucose during cellular respiration?

a) it is destroyed.
b) it is transferred to atp molecules.
c) it is converted to light.
d) it is used to make oxygen.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose is broken down. According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be destroyed (eliminating option A). In cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is not converted to light (eliminating option C) and oxygen is a reactant in aerobic cellular respiration, not a product made using glucose - stored energy (eliminating option D). ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy - carrying molecule in cells, and during cellular respiration, the energy from glucose is transferred to ATP molecules.

Answer:

B. It is transferred to ATP molecules.
