Question

Respiration is the process by which:

Question 16 options:

radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy in food.


chemical energy in glucose is released and stored in ATP.


the chemical energy of foods is released as heat and light.


radiant energy in glucose is released as heat and light.

Answer 1

The process of respiration primarily involves the conversion of the chemical energy stored in glucose into a usable form of energy, specifically ATP (adenosine triphosphate), through metabolic processes.

Therefore, the most accurate option is:

**chemical energy in glucose is released and stored in ATP.**
