Question

question 1 (10 points)
(lo2) how do cells capture the energy released by cellular respiration?
they produce atp.
they produce glucose.
they store it in molecules of carbon dioxide.
the energy is coupled to oxygen.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy. Cells capture this energy by synthesizing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which acts as the cell's primary energy currency. Glucose is a reactant, not a product, of cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide is a waste product, not an energy storage molecule, and oxygen is a final electron acceptor, not a molecule energy is coupled to.

Answer:

They produce ATP.
