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 to identify the form of energy that cells convert stored energy into during cellular respiration. The options provided for selection include 'carbohydrate', 'ATP', 'water', and 'carbon dioxide'. This relates to the process of energy conversion in biology.
Answer
ATP
The final answer is ATP.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is ATP.
More Information
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy carrier in cells, facilitating numerous cellular functions by releasing energy through the hydrolysis of its phosphate bonds.
Tips
Avoid confusing ATP with carbohydrate, water, or carbon dioxide, which are not energy carriers.
