Cells store energy in the chemical bonds of glucose molecules. Cellular respiration converts this stored energy into a usable form of energy called ____.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the type of energy that is produced by cellular respiration from the energy stored in glucose molecules. It requires the identification of the specific form of energy utilized by cells.
Answer
ATP
The final answer is ATP.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is ATP.
More Information
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is often called the 'energy currency' of the cell because it provides energy for many cellular processes.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing ATP with ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is a lower-energy molecule compared to ATP.
