A glucose molecule could be used as an example of potential energy, why is this true? The chemical energy stored in the glucose
molecule is available to do work The light energy is stored in the glucose molecule The glucose molecule is actively involved in energy production The glucose molecule participates in all cell activities
Ans. 'The chemical energy stored in the glucose molecule is available to do work.'
Glucose molecule is considered as primary fuel of the body as it provides energy for all cellular activities.
All organisms generate energy by breakdown of glucose molecules through the process of cellular respiration, in which chemical energy of glucose is converted ATP molecules. The ATP molecules release energy during hydrolysis and provide energy to do work. Hence, glucose can be used as an example of potential energy.
