glucose molecules.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is glucose molecules. To obtain this answer, we need to recall some basic knowledge about respiration. Respiration is a process in which cells break down molecules, usually glucose, to release energy. This energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in the bonds of glucose molecules. When the glucose molecules are broken down during respiration, the energy is released and used by cells to carry out various functions. Therefore, the chemical energy for respiration is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.
