During cellular respiration glucose molecules undergo a series of reactions. This process results in the formation of up to 38 molecules of high energy ATP per each molecule of glucose. Which is the source of energy stored in these ATP molecules

Answer:

energy is stored within the bonds between the phosphate groups in the ATP molecule

The source of energy stored in ATP molecules is chemical bonds between phosphate groups.

  • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy coin of cells, which is used to carry out different metabolic functions (e.g., reproduction, differentiation, growth, etc).

  • Cellular respiration is the process by which aerobic cells can produce ATP using the energy from foods (eg., glucose).

  • The hydrolysis of ATP is an exergonic reaction, which means that this reaction releases energy, thereby making the products of this reaction (ADP and monophosphate) lower in energy than the reactant (ATP).

In conclusion, the source of energy stored in ATP molecules is chemical bonds between phosphate groups.
