Question

what happens to the chemical energy in glucose during cellular respiration? it is captured by chloroplasts in plants. it is stored as glucose for future use. it is converted into heat and usable energy.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis (capturing light energy), not cellular respiration. Eliminate this.
• Analyze Option 2: During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down, not stored as glucose. Eliminate this.
• Analyze Option 3: In cellular respiration, glucose's chemical energy is converted to ATP (usable energy) and some heat. This matches the process.

Answer:

It is converted into heat and usable energy.
