    Energy stored in glucose molecules is transferred to adenosine triphosphate. During cellular respiration when glucose reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed.

    The energy released by glucose molecules is stored in bonds in the phosphate groups of the adenosine triphosphate molecules. After this, energy is released when ATP is converted into ADP and inorganic PO4 - groups.

    When ADP and phosphate group join together to form ATP energy is stored. A glucose molecule forms 36 to 38 ATP during respiration.
