Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these statements best explains the process of energy conversion that takes place in the mitochondria?
A
Energy is required for carbon dioxide molecules to form six-carbon sugar molecules.
B
Water molecules and radiant energy are necessary for anaerobic respiration to take place.
C
Oxygen molecules release energy in the form of heat during combustion reactions.
D
The energy in the bonds of glucose molecules is transferred to the phosphate bonds inATP.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -J: The energy in the bonds of glucose molecules is transferred to the phosphate bonds in ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -How do mitochondria convert energy? The machinery that the mitochondria use to convert energy is called the electron transport chain. Mitochondria convert chemical energy, in the form of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate or ATP for short. ATP is an energy currency that every cell in our body can use.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating sugars. When the energy from the Sun hits a chloroplast and the chlorophyll molecules, light energy is converted into the chemical energy. Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to make sugar and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic Respiration: It is the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food. This type of respiration is common in most of the plants and animals, birds, humans, and other mammals. In this process, water and carbon dioxide are produced as end products.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration is best described as E) changing of stored chemical energy in food molecules to a form usable by organisms.
