Answer:

Energy is stored in <u>glucose</u> molecules <u>C6H12O6</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of <u>photosynthesis</u>. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable  chemical energy in covalent bonds.  In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).  

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

How does water help to maintain the body's temperature even when the weather is cold?
Gala2k [10]
I think the answer is -
when the body experiences a drop in temperature it forces the water molecules to move faster in order to break the hydrogen bonds and release energy as heat.
hope this helps you.
