A cell goes through cellular respiration and produces ATP which it then uses to move a molecule across the cell membrane. How does the energy in the original glucose molecule change during this process?

A. The stored energy in the glucose is used to produce ATP that can be converted to mechanical energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
B. The energy in the glucose is stored as kinetic energy in the ATP and released as potential energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
C. The energy in the glucose is stored as mechanical energy in the ATP and released as potential energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
D. The kinetic energy in the glucose is stored as potential energy in the ATP and released as kinetic energy when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.
-I think it's either A or D I just don't know about the type energy stored in glucose.

The answer to your question is : the glucose in the kinetic energy is stored in potential energy in the ATP. After the kinetic energy would be released when the molecule moves across the cell membrane.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. The kinetic energy in glucose is stored as potential energy in ATP and released as kinetic energy when the molecule moves through the cell membrane.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

Oxygen (O2) is obtained through cellular respiration.

Oxygen breaks glucose molecules and generates ATP molecules.

The energy contained in the molecule is released and transformed into kinetic energy.

After this analysis, we conclude that the correct answer is option D. The kinetic energy in glucose is stored as potential energy in ATP and released as kinetic energy when the molecule moves through the cell membrane.
