glucose molecules.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The chemical energy for respiration is primarily stored in the bonds of glucose molecules. When glucose undergoes the process of cellular respiration, it is broken down into smaller molecules, such as carbon dioxide and water, to release energy. However, these smaller molecules store much less energy compared to the original glucose molecule. Therefore, the majority of the chemical energy used in respiration comes from breaking the bonds within glucose molecules.
