Question

Respiration converts potential or stored energy of food into

• A. Chemical energy
• B. Mechanical energy
• C. Kinetic energy
• D. All forms of energy

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chemical energy

Respiration is the metabolic process of oxidaion of food to produce energy in the form of ATP. ATP or Adenosine Tri Phosphate is energy rich compound which stores the energy to be used for all the activities of life. In this process energy stored in food such as glucose is converted by mitochondrial enzymes into another form of chemical energy which is ATP.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
