The correct response is:

glucose molecules.

Respiration primarily uses the chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules to produce energy for the cells.

Organisms need to obtain energy via cellular respiration to fuel various biological processes, including growth, reproduction, and maintenance of cellular functions.

Which statement best describes energy release in cellular respiration? (1 point)
Responses

Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the cytoplasm.
Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the cytoplasm.

Stored chemical energy can be used immediately and is released in the mitochondria.
Stored chemical energy can be used immediately and is released in the mitochondria.

Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the mitochondria.
Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the mitochondria.

Stored chemical energy can be used immediately and is released in the cytoplasm.

The correct response is:

Stored chemical energy is broken down and released in the mitochondria.

In cellular respiration, the breakdown of stored chemical energy (such as glucose) occurs primarily in the mitochondria, where it is converted into usable energy in the form of ATP.

What is the equation for cellular respiration? (1 point)
Responses

carbon dioxide + energy → glucose + oxygen + water
carbon dioxide + energy → glucose + oxygen + water

carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen
carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy

glucose + oxygen + energy → carbon dioxide + water

The correct response is:

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.

This equation summarizes the process of cellular respiration, where glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (in the form of ATP).

Glycolysis breaks glucose into (1 point)
Responses

five smaller molecules.
five smaller molecules.

three smaller molecules.
three smaller molecules.

four smaller molecules.
four smaller molecules.

two smaller molecules.
two smaller molecules.

The correct response is:

two smaller molecules.

Glycolysis breaks down one molecule of glucose (which has six carbon atoms) into two molecules of pyruvate (each having three carbon atoms).
