Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An energy-rich organic compound needed by organisms is
A
water
B
salt
C
oxygen
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A compound that is rich in energy is glucose, choice 4. The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. Animal bodies break down glucose in a process called glycolysis to create energy in the form of ATP molecules. Therefore, glucose is an essential and necessary compound for our survival.

Detailed explanation-2: -Energy-rich compounds in cells comprise five kinds of high-energy bonds: phosphoanhydride, acyl phosphate, enolphosphate, guanidine phosphate and thioester bonds (Fig. 3.1). Phosphoanhydride bond is formed between two molecules of phosphoric acid (H3PO4).

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a catabolic process where the breakdown of glucose takes place with the help of oxygen and Carbon dioxide and water are released. The energy-rich compound formed during this reaction is ATP.
