Chemical energy for respiration is stored in the bonds of?
Glucose molecules
Carbon dioxide molecules
Water molecules
Oxygen molecules
Why do organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration?
to prevent glycolysis
To break down ATP
To photosynthesis
To grow and reproduce
The correct answer is: Glucose molecules
Organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration in order to break down glucose molecules and convert them into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. This energy is necessary for growth, reproduction, and other cellular processes.
Which statement best describes energy release in cellular respiration?
Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the mitochondria.
Stored chemical energy is broken down and release in the cytoplasm.
Stored chemical energy can be used immediately and is released into mitochondria.
Stored chemical energy can be used immediately and released in cytoplasm
The correct statement is: Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the mitochondria.
Cellular respiration is a process that takes place in the mitochondria of cells, where stored chemical energy in the form of glucose molecules is broken down and converted into ATP, releasing energy that can be used by the cell for various functions.
