RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In respiration, how is chemical energy stored?
A
ATP
B
Glucose
C
Oxygen
D
Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the cell has extra energy (gained from breaking down food that has been consumed or, in the case of plants, made via photosynthesis), it stores that energy by reattaching a free phosphate molecule to ADP, turning it back into ATP. The ATP molecule is just like a rechargeable battery.

Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use. It is the molecule that provides energy for your cells to perform work, such as moving your muscles as you walk down the street.

Detailed explanation-4: -The common feature is that ATP can be stored in large dense core vesicles together with neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final Answer: The energy released during respiration is stored in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
