Convert the energy of glucose into the usable energy of ATP.
A
Nucleus
B
Cell Membrane
C
Cytoplasm
D
Mitochondria
E
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water. During this process, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. Energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups (PO4-) of the ATP molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is converted into ATP by cellular respiration. One molecule of glucose produces 38 ATP molecules by aerobic respiration in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. The steps involved in cellular respiration are glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Much in the same way as your digestive system, mitochondria are like small digestive systems in your cell, turning food into energy. Sugars, fats, and amino acids from proteins that we eat are converted into energy through the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy. One molecule of glucose can produce a net of 30-32 ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Once glucose is digested and transported to your cells, a process called cellular respiration releases the stored energy and converts it to energy that your cells can use. Cellular respiration consists of three metabolic processes: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
