Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The energy stored in glucose is converted into ATP.
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 process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).
