What form of energy is stored in glucose?
A
solar energy
B
chemical energy
C
mechanical energy
D
thermal energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose that is consumed is used to make energy in the form of ATP, which is used to perform work and power chemical reactions in the cell. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy that is used to build molecules of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the bonds that hold atoms within a molecule together. Everytime you break one of these bonds, that energy is released. Molecules of glucose are relatively stable, so this energy is safely stored inside the molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The energy within a glucose molecule is stored within its bonds. Glucose is a very important sugar, because it is created through the chemical reaction of photosynthesis and stores the sun’s energy.
