place.
H
J
Oxygen molecules release energy in the form of heat during combustion reactions.
The energy in the bonds of glucose molecules is transferred to the phosphate bonds in
ATP.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The energy in the bonds of glucose molecule is transferred to the phosphate groups in ATP.

Explanation:

Cells derive energy by performing cellular respiration. The usable form of energy required by living cells is stored as ATP which has three phosphate groups and thus gets the name Adenosine Triphosphate. Within cells glucose molecules and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide, water and ATP.  

ATP is formed by the combination of ADP and a phosphate group and is used for energy storage. It is the energy of the bonds in glucose molecule that gets transferred to the phosphate groups in ATP. If energy has to be released this ATP has to break down into ADP and phosphate.
