Cells Capture the Energy from Food and Store It in the Form

Question

Cells capture the energy from food and store it in the form of:
A) glucose.
B) ATP.
C) oxygen.
D) heat.
E) carbon dioxide.

Accepted Answer

Cells store energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is produced during cellular respiration. Glucose is a source of energy that is broken down to produce ATP. Oxygen is used in cellular respiration to release energy from glucose. Heat is a byproduct of energy conversion but is not stored. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration.
