In the presence of oxygen, glucose is used by cells to produce cell energy or ATP. But we do not just eat glucose! Our diet includes a variety of foods, including three that you see here. Consider the chemical formulas of the three molecules. Would any of them provide the glucose that cells need to produce ATP? Explain.
A) Sucrose could be used because it is composed of glucose molecules.
B) All three could be used because the elements C, H, and O are present and can be rearranged to form glucose.
C) The two molecules that classified as carbohydrates can be used because they are similar to glucose structurally.
D) None of them can be used. You must provide an exact source that contains 6 carbon and oxygen and 12 hydrogen atoms.

Answer:
Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the molecule used by the body to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism - it is the energy source that powers our body.
