Question

Which of these statements accurately describes the energy conversion that occurs in cellular respiration?

a) ATP is converted into thermal energy.
b) Chemical energy is converted into ATP.
c) Heat Energy is converted into chemical energy.
d) Light energy is converted into kinetic energy in the products.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a

Answer 2

During cellular respiration, chemical energy is converted into ATP (Option b)

• Respiration is a biochemical process by which glucose is broken down inside the cells and the release of energy takes place.
• It is a catabolic reaction and chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules is transformed into ATP.
• ATP stands for Adenosine Tri Phosphate, and it is the energy currency of the cell.
• On the other hand, photosynthesis is the process that involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
